Yes for windows 8 you can sync bookmarks to your microsoft account, just like you can sync rest of settings. You can also use skydrive/any other cloud service to sync bookmarks because you can change where the bookmark/favorites folder is located for ie.Does anyone know if IE10 auto syncs bookmarks on Windows 8? I've been too lazy to check. Surprisingly this is about the only thing keeping me on Chrome.
I work in an environment with many PC's. It it not practical to manage non-IE browsers (updates and such) so I try to stick to IE as much as possible. In some scenarios on our XP machines, IE8 is at a point now where sites are starting to use standards that it doesn't support.
Firefox has really fallen over time, I really only use opera because i can strip down the UI to just want i want, so i maximize viewing space. IE is really just a close 2nd to chrome in areas like, perception of speed, stability and security.I've really enjoyed IE 9. It's a little thing, but the ability to pin websites to the task bar is fantastic on an HTPC. I can launch netflix, hulu, etc, like they are their own program. Chrome may still be better, but I've found firefox to feel clunky and old fashioned for a while.
I feel like it's good enough, the same way Safari 6 is now good enough. Realistically, it's good enough for the majority of users. If you really need that extra bit, then you'll download something else.IE10 is better than the older versions but it isn't the better browser. Frankly I take anything that comes from the Gawker network with a grain of salt.
One of the issues IE9 and 10 run into now of days is that is follows standards better but websites don't update their user-strings and teats the new IE like the old IE.Eh... IE 10 is OK. Got nothing against it, and use it as my primary browser because it was already installed with my now Windows 8 machine. However, I keep Chrome installed, just in case a webpage goes all wonkey, and I want to confirm it's the browser at fault, and not the site.
Besides, as a web/software developer, I find that I have to install IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera on my workstation, just to make sure my web pages work in all browsers.
