The web browser on Windows 8 surely looks fast and fluid but the Metro version may appear to be the best for tablets. In Windows 7 version, the fast and fluid thing is almost perfect as there are still traces of non-metroized icons. OK, it may be fast but not as fast as in Windows 8 and besides, it still looks like Internet Explorer 9 but kind of better. In the meantime, the release preview is available for download today.
Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 has backported features of Windows 8 version which may be where the browser is not affected by that freaking development disaster in the first place like people are already sticking on to Windows 7 due to that. Another thing that will change the technology in the future is the Do Not Track feature which is also on the rival web browsers.
IE10 has more interoperable HTML5 support and enhanced web programming model for Windows 7 and 8 which improve the HTML5 even more and especially for sophisticated page layouts in which there’s CCS3 for publication quality page layouts and application UI with HTML5 Forms, input controls and validation. For Enhanced Web Programming Model, it has better offline applications through local storage with indexedDB and HTML5 Application Cache, HTML5 History, HTML5 File APIs and the list goes on. Developers building on these capabilities in Windows 8 can run the same markup with the same performance and capabilities on Windows 7.
Overall, this web browser is about the major improvement to the HTML5 technology in which the opportunities continue for HTMl5 to make both web sites and online applications better. If you have a Windows 8 device, you can already encounter this kind of new experience with Internet Explorer 10 .
