Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 Coming Next Month
Microsoft Group Program Manager Rob Mauceri has today revealed that Internet Explorer 10 will be bringing its bells and whistles over to Windows 7 in mid-November. The catch is that the release planned for next month is (still) a preview as the Redmond company wants to "collect developer and customer feedback" before rolling out a final version. Internet Explorer 10 integrates Adobe Flash Player and comes with improved JavaScript performance, better HTML5 support, the Enhanced Protected Mode, plus other tweaks and fixes. IE10 can be experienced in full on Windows 8 which arrives on October 26.
As we approach general availability of Windows 8, we want to provide an update on IE10 for Windows 7. We will release a preview of IE10 on Windows 7 in mid-November, with final availability to follow as we collect developer and customer feedback.
IE10 on Windows 7 has the same standards based platform for developers to target as IE10 on Windows 8. We built an entirely new browser with Windows 8, with more performance and developer capabilities. IE10 brings improved real-world site performance andadditional standards support to Windows 7 that Web developers have been asking for. We look forward to getting your feedback on IE10 on Windows 7, and will provide another update when the preview is available.
—Rob Mauceri, Group Program Manager, Internet Explorer

It's more since IE8. And IE8 was only a start. IE started to catch the comp when IE 9 was released only.
Ie 7 was crap. Did not even support inline-block property for block level elements but supported it for inline elements. I can't specically recall all the other rendering problems we had with it but we had a lot. HTML rendering was extremely slow too for big pages. We have an option in one of our internal apps here to show all results from a search in one single page instead of using paging. The scrolling was a slideshow until version 9 of IE.
The faster IE 7 and 8 die the better.
Just recalled one of the bugs we encountered under ie 7 (and there's many of them).

Ie 9 is a good browser and i'm sure IE 10 will be better. But for me the harm is done and it's too late. I'm used to FF and addons like WebDev, Firebug, httpfox, colorzilla and such. I have all browsers installed on my PC and have a mac around with safari for testing purpose but always use either FF or chrome.
Since IE7 they've been steadily improving it. IE10 is nice and quick. That it's being released on Windows 7 is a good thing too.

I might said it wrong.
Didn't mean Toolbar but Favorites/Bookmark Bar. I want my Tabs below that, and in IE9 that's not possible.
Oh come on... I'm going to be honest, web devs hate guys like you and would really like to force you to update (or if you like to use broken web sites in the future....).
How about adapting the new look? I mean, it can't be that hard! It makes really no difference whether or not it's on top or bellow the bookmark bar. If you don't use the bookmark bar, you can just disable it.

I'm one of those users that Neo is referring as I use FF out of pure habit but I have nothing against Chrome.

That was the main reason I switched to FF in the first place. That and it was faster than IE on my crap laptop I had at the time. I will say however that I do like the full screen web browsing that IE9 offered but not enough to put up with the random black screen.
