Anyone know when IE10 will be available for Win7?

[rob]

I know the pre-release version of IE10 for Win7 is available, but I've
come to mistrust pre-release versions (cause registry problems etc).

Does anyone have any info or even rumors about when the official
release version will be available?

Also, for anyone running the pre: Any notable problems? Is it
worthwhile?

I've been using it for a few weeks on Win7-64 system. It seems faster than
IE9, but I did run into one site telling me I needed a newer browser version
(!) to login. I can't remember which one it was, but I have Chrome and FF
installed, so never missed a beat.

No official word from MSFT on the RTM/RTW release date for IE10 on Win7.

I'm running IE10 on Win7 x64 with no problems. It does seem faster.

It works OK on Win 7 32 too, so far with no problems.

You're almost certainly running the pre-release version "rob" mentioned
above. I agree it runs perfectly with no problems.

I read one post that stated that IE 10 disables aero in windows. Is that
true?

I like my desktop with aero and don't want to lose it.

I am running Windows 7 HP SP1 with Aero. I have IE version
10.0.9200.16439 Pre-Release (KH2761465). Aero isn't affected.

With Windows 8, Aero isn't a feature or an option. It's
history.

I'm almost always against running pre-release versions of
anything--it's just looking for trouble--but this is a case where I
would make an exception. Since IE10 has been released for Windows 8,
the Windows 7 version can't be all that different or dangerous.

Didn't I see something like that on a headstone recently?

One of the comics I read online likes an occasional "famous last words"
strip. The cartoonist probably wouldn't much like the above, soI won't
submit it...Especially without your permission.

Anyway, I forgot which strip it is.

LOL!

The only problem I had was when clicking on a PDF file link on a Website,
nothing would happen. PDF files as attachments and already saved open fine.
Gotta be able to open them up especially with tax time approaching. Back to
IE9 for now.

 

[Gene E. Bloch]

Feel free

Truth to tell, I am paranoid about backup, and I am also a big
procrastinator.

Not the best combination for a stress-free life

Yesterday, by using ShadowExplorer, I did correct a mistake that lost a
file, though it would also have been available on any recent backup that
I actually *did* make.

That seems like a weak reason to avoid a specific version of a browser.
Wasn't it just a configuration that you needed to make, and failing that,
couldn't you just right click and download your pdf files?

IE10 RP/Win7 - 32 and 64 bit works fine here opening pdf links on a variety of web sites, financial, banking, and the IRS web site
(Forms in pdf format).

What pdf viewer is installed ?

FoxIt, Adobe X 10.1.5, and Adobe XI are function when set as the default viewer.
- all are configured to display in the PDF view window and not the browser

Sea Monkey 2.15.2 works too on Win7 (both 32/64 bit).

Thanks for the info. I like my aero and have no plans to upgrade to win 8.
Both my machines work perfect with win 7 and I see no reason to fix what is
not broken.

But glad to know IE10 is a future option if I want it.
