IE10: Fast, Fluid, Perfect for Touch, and Available Now for Windows 7

[Brink]

In Windows 8, we reimagined the browser with IE10. We designed and built IE10 to be the best way to experience the Web on Windows. With the IE10 Release Preview for Windows 7 consumers can now enjoy a fast and fluid Web with the updated IE10 engine on their Windows 7 devices. The release preview of IE10 on Windows 7 is available for download today.

IE10 on Windows 8 brings an entirely new browsing experience and set of capabilities to the Web, such as a new touch first browsing experience and full screen UI for your sites, security improvements that offer the best protection against the most common threats on the Web, improved performance, and support for the HTML5 and CSS3 standards developers need.

With this release preview, Windows 7 customers receive all of the performance, security, and under-hood changes that enable a stellar Web experience. IE10 Release Preview also sends the "Do Not Track" signal to Web sites by default to help consumers protect their privacy.

Interesting. I thought it would be a RTW off the bat

 

[z3r010]

Looks like I'll need to go back to Win7 for a while and make sure it doesn't screw the sites up

 

[z3r010]

All installed and no problems that I can see

Did IE9 have this built in spell check?

 

[Brink]

I don't think IE9 does have a spell check feature.

I thought it was part of Windows 8 from the feature below, but I guess it was actually IE10.

IE10 having it can only be a good thing, you'll need to do a tutorial to teach the IE users what the red squiggly line means though

Just installed it and every page I open is as quick as lightening on all sites that I have tried so far. I hope it is not just a once of and then back to normal later. Where is the spell checker? I haven't seen it yet.

Type a word wrong and you'll get a red underline.

Indeed. Added to the list for tonight.

I was joking

 

[jfar]

Wrongggggggg Excellent it needed one of those, well I did to tell the truth lllllll.

 

[Brink]

I was joking

LOL, yeah, but you just know we're going to get a million questions about it.

I'll see if there's a way to turn spell checking in IE10 on or off, and incorporate this all in it.

 

[z3r010]

It's in the manage add-ins section and the only settings are add dictionaries and turn on or off.

Are you guys installed both x32 & x64 bits on your machine?

 

[z3r010]

Interesting, there is no x64 IE shortcut and both the versions in program files & program files (x86) both open 32 bit versions from the quick look I've just taken.

 

[jfar]

My one says

E10-Windows6.1-x64-en-us Windows Internet Explorer 10 Setup Utility....well that is what came in when I downloaded it?

Release Preview also sends the "Do Not Track" signal to Web sites by default to help consumers protect their privacy.
=>What does that mean exactly? And what doesn't work then?

When will the final IE10 be released?

 

[MadSupra354]

Testing it now. I like the updated theme! Is there a spell check option for this version?

 

[NoN]

Interesting, there is no x64 IE shortcut and both the versions in program files & program files (x86) both open 32 bit versions from the quick look I've just taken.

Looks not like IE9...one for x64 bits based system and one for x86, now.

Also looks not all dictionnaries are available at the moment, but does install both native and English spelling package & hyphenation package

I have a feeling that both 64-bit and 32-bit versions run simultaneously, regardless of how IE10 is initiated (obviously, this is for x64 systems, x86 systems will only have the 32-bit version).



Note how both 64-bit and 32-bit (indicated by *32) versions of iexplore.exe appear to be running. In addition, the add-ons show both 32-bit and 64-bit to be installed and enabled.
