A moment ago Ars Technica tweeted a link to a (now pulled) story about Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 being out.

At first I couldn't find it on the MS website or Windows Update. A moment of searching later however I came across the download page for it. The RTM version is 10.0.9200.16521

Is Adobe Flash player integrated into internet explorer 10 in windows 7, like it is in windows 8 (and are flash player updates delivered via windows update)?

Sweet! Thanks dude!

i know a few people that will be happy to see this.

Finally. Some decent upgrade for IE-based Windows 7 users. Hope this is pushed silently via Windows Update.

There are many HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript performance increases on this release.

Chrome + Adblock for me.

Until there's a suitable replacement on IE, I just can't bring myself to use it again.

Misleading title. It actually requires SP1, so I do not believe that it is available for Windows 7 RTM. :)

No ads with IE 10, not sure which version you tried.

I don't see anything on my machine to indicate that it is. And going to a flash based site prompts me to install it.

I'm so glad I use Firefox, so glad..

IE10 has built in Adblocking mechanism through ActiveX Filtering + Tracking Protection lists (adblocking and privacy) at the http level saving bandwidth.

Great! It's noticeably faster than IE9 while browsing and managing tabs.

While Google Chrome is my browser of choice, I am glad to see IE has been updated finally. One thing though I'm curious about is, I saw that the preview release of IE10 also required a pre-release of the Win7 SP1 Platform Update, does this automatically get installed when you run the IE10 installer?

Yes, it does get installed with IE10.

Hitting full screen in YT HTML5 does not go to full screen in IE10, it maximises to the size of the browser window

Hit F11

I'm so glad I use Firefox, so glad..

So glad I'm using Linux right now!!

Sorry, couldn't resist that one, but I AM using Linux!!

IE10 is DEFINITELY faster, even pre-release! Glad to see it! :)

Hit F11

That just hides the edges of the browser, hitting fullscreen should correctly take over the entire screen

[manosdoc]

Hitting F11 takes over the entire screen on my 1080p monitor.

Yea I know, but that is not what I am saying, I know what F11 does, I`m saying the full screen BUTTON doesn't go full screen, it only takes over the size of the browser window, so if you have IE10 windowed to 800x600 on a 1920x1080 LCD, you do not get full screen, you only get 800x600 and it still leaves the IE10 border
