Internet Explorer 10 Information

Windows Internet Explorer 10 (abbreviated as IE10) is the next version of Internet Explorer currently being developed by Microsoft, and the successor to Internet Explorer 9. On April 12, 2011, Microsoft released the first "IE10 Platform Preview"; it and all subsequent releases will only run on Windows 7 and later.[2][1] It expanded on Internet Explorer 9 functionality in regards to CSS 3 uptake and hardware acceleration.[3] The release, only four weeks after the final release of Internet Explorer 9, has been noted as a fast release cycle in the context of the new browser wars.[4]

History

Internet Explorer 10 was first announced on April 12, 2011 at the MIX 11 conference in Las Vegas.[5] In this conference, Microsoft showcased a demo version of Internet Explorer 10 along with a demo version of Windows 8.[6] On the same day, a Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 10 was released on the Microsoft Internet Explorer Test Drive website.[3] Microsoft announced that it will drop support for Windows Vista. Internet Explorer 9, released a month before this event, had dropped support for Windows XP.[2][1] Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 1 supports CSS3 grid layout, CSS3 flexible box layout, CSS3 multi-column layout, CSS3 gradient, and full hardware acceleration.[7][8]

Reviewers' responses to the release of Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview were varied. However, all reviewers noted how soon (29 days) after the release of Internet Explorer 9, Microsoft is talking about the next version. While Don Reisinger of eWeek listed his requested features for the next version, Michael Muchmore of PC Magazine tested Platform Preview 1's performance and HTML5 support with both Microsoft's and third-parties' test suites. In his test, Platform Preview 1 performed better than Internet Explorer 9 but not always better than the competing web browsers.[9][10]
