I downloaded it and it would not install. I kept getting these strange errors to do with IE4.inst or some such thing. Then it would not let me re install IE 9. I had to re image my PC in order to get it back to normal. I think I will now wait until it is available on Windows Update. I don't use it anyway but was just curious.

wow, not good, I haven't bothered with it yet, I don't use IE so decided to wait until its final too

Not sure how accurate this is, but when it first appeared, people were saying it also brings DX11.1 to Win 7, not everything that Win 8 gives with DX11.1 but enough to make Win 7 support it

The preview version of IE10 is VERY stable on Win7, and fully functional! ...as for your "IE4.inst" issue, I wonder if that's possibly due to a corrupt download of the IE10 Preview setup? I know I had some with the IE10 preview not installing at first, and had to redownload the setup again (and run it from a different location too - not from my SkyDrive folder!)

But I would certainly recommend Windows 7 users upgrade their IE to the IE10 preview, as I say, it's really stable, fully functional, and is a LOT more standard's compliant than IE9 - you really will have a better all round browsing experience!

Oh, I agree, IE10 still has a long way to go to match the standards compliance & speed of the latest versions of other major browsers currently available, but if you're an IE user, IE10 preview is a significant "step forward" from IE9.

We develop a browser-based scheduling app that's supported in all 5 major browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera AND Safari), and so we regularly have to use and test all of these browsers.

In fact, when we did a side-by-side test of them the day after the IE10 preview came out back in November, we actually found that IE10 preview had a higher memory consumption than IE9, and that browser start-up times were slower for IE10 preview than IE9. But those two issues aside (which I'm sure will be improved on for the full IE10 release), IE10 preview is far more standards compliant (HTML5, CSS3, etc) than IE9, and does perform better both in terms of page load/rendering times, and javascript performance.

Anyway, If you're interested, our full browser report (where, alongside IE9 & 10, we also tested Chrome 23, Firefox 16, Opera 12, & Safari 5) can be found here

Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 Ready to Launch

Yes, we concur that a full IE10 release date for Windows 7 will likely be at the end of this month, or early March, based upon the time between when the IE9 blocker kit was released, and then when IE9 was subsequently released. ....IE10 really can't come soon enough!!

The backup and restore feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you back up and restore the Windows operating systems, disks, partitions and files (folders) to protect the security of your Windows operating system and personal data. The cloning feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you migrate Windows to another disk, or easily upgrade a disk to an SSD or a larger capacity disk. System Backup & Restore / Disk/Partition Backup & Restore Backup Windows operating system and boot-related partitions, including user settings, drivers and applications installed in these partitions, which ensures that you can quickly restore your Windows operating system once it crashes. Viruses, power failure, or other unknown reasons may cause data loss, so it is a good habit to regularly back up the drive that stores important files, you can at least recover lost files from the backup image files in the event of a disaster. System Clone / Disk Clone / Partition Clone Migrate the Windows operating system from one disk to another SSD or larger disk without reinstalling Windows, applications and drivers. Clone entire disk to another disk and ensure that the contents of the source disk and the destination disk are exactly the same. Clone a partition completely to the specified location on the current disk or another disk and ensure that the data will not be changed. File Backup & Restore Back up specified files(folders) instead of the entire drive to another location to protect your data, so you can quickly restore files(folders) from the backup image files when needed. Incremental/Differential/Full Backup Different backup modes are supported, you can flexibly choose data protection schemes, which can improve backup performance and save storage space while ensuring data security. Delta Restore Delta restore uses advanced delta detection technology to check the changed blocks on the destination drive and restore only the changed blocks, so it has a faster restore speed than the traditional full restore. Universal Restore This feature can help us restore the Windows operating system to computers with different hardware and ensure that Windows can work normally without any hardware compatibility issues.

      I looked into a few echo devices to find they were riddled with adverts over time. No thanks ill stick to my homeassistant, smart plugs, smart bulbs and cameras that don't cost me a monthly fee and are cheaper to buy. No adverts also.

      Putin or Farage had nothing to do with me voting out. I did so because I got fed up of the E.U telling us what we could and could not do. Fed up with our country being run by a load of unelected Europrats. We never joined the E.U in the first place.
