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

If it has the same layout as IE9 ill stick with IE8.
I want my Tabs below the Toolbar.
And i did use Firefox for a while, but the amount of Plugins i needed to achieve the same style as IE8 was just way too much trouble. Apart from that Plugins are getting abandoned etc, it's only annoying.
The IE9 layout is nearly 100% configurable up-to how IE8 looks including tabs. I strongly recommend you to upgrade really, Guru3D will also look a lot better with IE9 and CSS3.

Maybe he can wait until IE10. That's gonna be one hell of a speed improvement experience over 8

Nothing can still match chrome, though

I'm going to guess a lot of users here still use FF out of habit even with Chrome around. Very few on tech sites ever use IE... regardless of what IE becomes I will always remember it as this:

I don't know if IE could sync my settings in cloud but my portable firefox V19 nightly x64 can, and have some important plugins also. Chrome is not what i want from the browser with that instances copying to infinity eating whole memory and just the fact being 32 bit makes me
