I.E 10 & Windows 7?

Post by joe2cool »

Hi, never really used 'Internet Explorer', always really used 'Firefox' until recently & started using 'Chrome' as well. My laptop which as Windows 7 is now asking if I want to upgrade with an important update for I.E 10. Would I notice a big change from 9? Does 10 have a PDF reader built in? Is it better than FF or Chrome? Will it be fully functional on Win 7, or is it really for the 'touch' market?

Just wondered about people's opinions
Thx

I updated yesterday just to see what it was all about. Don't know about any built-in pdf reader, however.

Wether is "better" will also be debatable and subject to "fan-boi-ism". FF users will stick to FF, Chrome users will stick to Chrome, IE users will stick to IE.

It's fast. I haven't read about a built in PDF reader....Windows 8 has one built in, so I doubt they added the feature to IE10 just for Win7 users.

I upgraded on a Win7 64 bit machine and I had nothing but problems with IE10. Don't know what the problem was but pages weren't displaying correctly etc. I had to go back to IE 9.

I have not used it too much, but I know a few of my employees have and everything seems to be ok.

32-bit Windows 7.
