Microsoft has just launched the second preview for their IE10. Internet Explorer 10 is a solid upgrade from IE9, but there arent too many aesthetic changes.
IE10 supports CSS3 Positioned Floats, HTML5 Drag-drop, File Reader API, Media Query, Listeners and initial support for HTML5 Forms.
IE10 will only work on Windows 7, so you will need to upgrade if you are still running Vista or XP.
We haver just received Internet Expolorer 9 and now Internet Explorer 10 is already in test drive mode. The first preview of Internet Explorer 10 was launched at the Mix 2011 conference a week or so ago. You can download the full Internet Explorer 10 preview here.
Internet Explorer 10 preview required Windows 7 to test out all the cool new features. Internet Explorer 10 supports full HTML5 standards and even supports CSS Flexbox, CSS3 Grid Alignment, CSS3 Muti-column, CSS3 Gradients on background images. You can try these features at IE testdrive site to get a feel of it.

Tweetdeck has just released their web application in the Chrome Web store. Now any user can access Tweetdeck from within their Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer and Opera browser.
According to a blog post from TweetDeck, the new Web App, which requires no downloads, is already working on Chrome, Firefox 3.6, Firefox 4 and Safari with compatible versions arriving soon for IE9 and Opera.
If you’d like to try your luck at receiving a beta invitation you can visit: http://www.tweetdeck.com/webbeta. You’ll need to know your browser name and version number, then again if you don’t know how to find those you shouldn’t be in a technology based beta program to begin with.
I find the revolving door of technology crazy at times. With IE9 only being launched only yesterday, IE10 rumours are already upon us. It is being rumoured that IE10 will be launch at the same time as Windows 8 (which would make a lot of sense).
Win7China claims to have a solid source that has released the information, and in the past this source has been on the money. If Windows 8 launch dates are correct, then IE9 will be a little over a year old when its expected that IE10 takes over.
Goodbye all previous version of Internet Explorer because IE9 is here! Microsoft has official released Internet Explorer 9 to the world and I really think it is going to be their best browser yet.
Internet Explorer 9 has a lot of improvements and new feature, but the aim of this release was to adopt the new coding standards (eg. HTML5), plus to have simplicity and speed within the browser. Speed and simplicity is something that Google lives by and its great to see that Microsoft have finally woken up and upgraded Internet Explorer accordingly.
You can download IE9 here:
Windows 7 x86
Windows 7 x64

Microsoft will be launching their major upgrade of Internet Explorer on the 14th of March. Internet Explorer 9 has a lot of great features and improvements that were long overdue.
The key improvements in Internet Explorer 9 are:
IE9 release candidate has already been download over 2 million times, so it seems like the world is liking the new Internet Explorer.
Microsoft will be hosting a press even in the US on February 10th to announce the launch of Internet Explorer 9.
Internet Explorer 9 is being seen as an extremely strong product, even more so for users with Windows 7 where it allows individual websites to be pinned to the Start Menu and Windows TaskBar. Any website pinned to the TaskBar can have custom jumplists with only a small amount of added code.
IE9 is not a browser for people who like plug-ins and browser add-ons. In fact the beta version will nag you to remove them in order to have the software working at its fastest. It is definitely a very fast browser and stands up well against its main rival, Google Chrome.
Do you think Internet Explorer can really compete with Chrome and Firefox or is it just a waste of time?
StatCounter published a chart representing the top 12 browser versions existing; which we can distribute among continents or even particular countries. In this data I’m pretty sure you can find some surprises, take a look.
Ok, there’s no surprise if I say Internet Explorer is ruling over the world (Microsoft already had a lot of problems regarding this); but what do you think about Internet Explorer 6 (developed in 2001) being the third most used browser? Or that Firefox 2.0 has more popularity than Opera 10?
Here are some other facts:
These charts are using one year stats, from May 09 to May 10.
And you? Which is your favorite browser?
