Microsoft just released for W7....

Has anyone tried it with W8 or W7?
What do you think of it's performance and ease of use
Also can you transfer "Favorites" over to IE10?

Yes for about 6 mon. now I like it a lot. When I had my custom computer made then installed Win. 7 and IE 10. it should transfer Favorites. With all new computer started Favorites over.
 
I know nothing about it, but will investigate; thanks! NC

Here is a review about it:

Good afternoon,

One of my friends installed it and was having a lot of trouble with it.

Loading times were atrocious, several websites were incompatible with IE 10, and thus the pages weren't loading at all, and when she tried to rollback her computer to IE 9, the software could not be removed successfully; she even tried a system restore with no luck.

I'll stick to my FireFox for now.
 
As long as my butt points downward I will not use IE in any version.
End of story, Firefox suits my needs.
:kilroy:
 
No problems here.

Have a new box (since mid-January) running Windows 8, and only encountered one issue with IE 10 so far.

Only problem is with my posts at SOH in that that WYSIWYG settings doesn't provide allow for paragraph spacing. I have to switch to the Standard Editor to type this post. If I want an emcon, I have to switch back to the WYSiWYG setup. This is the only forum with that issue with IE 10 (Ickie is aware of the issue).

Bring in my favorites from the older XP machine was not an issue.

Why would anyone use IE? :S

Seriously? Because it does work for us without problems? I don't change software just for the sake of saying "no" to MS. If and or when it should stop working reliably, then I will think about another browser.

OTOH, I hated Outlook so much that I stuck with Netscape's email client for decades. I finally had no choice but to switch to Mozilla/Firebird when I set up my new development computer, since Netscape has long since vanished from the cosmos. :mix-smi:

There are a couple things we can't do with Firefox at work, so we are stuck using IE from time to time. It has more than earned its nickname of "Internet Exploder". :mixedsmi:

Never have any problems with Firefox or Chrome...

WarHorse47 : Sorry to rehash a topic that everyone loves to talk about(
icon26.gif
) , I just switched to IE10 (running Win7-64bit) . I personally don't have any major problems with it other than a few quirks that you have described . I noticed when I am at the end of the thread I am writing and want to tab down 3 or 4 spaces to put my name , it won't let me . IE 10 is very fast , I have not ran into sites yet I could not access . Security is suppose to be much better with this version .We will just to wait for a fix . In the mean time I'll try your work around .
 
IE-10 isn't broke, it's vbulletin, our forum makers.
they (vbulletin) are working on a fix coming soon.

Thanks Ickie for clearing this up for me . I'm terrible with typing anyway and I need all the help I can get !:icon_lol:
 
I was just over at vbulletin, they are re-writting the code for the editor we use and will be available in their next update 4.2.1.
