Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7

The only thing missing from internet explorer for years was built in spell check, and now it has it, this essentially makes it my go to browser. Oh and don't forget the autocomplete that is nice as well, I never put the apostrophe however you spell that it just fixed in my don'ts.

Stay inside of the context I was talking about. I said outside of the desktop, Microsoft's presence is virtually gone. Linux has won. Top that off with the rising popularity of mobile devices versus desktops, Linux will win in sheer numbers of users.

We here will cling to our desktop until they pry it out of our cold dead fingers, but the average Jane and Joe only wants something to post on Facebook and play Angry Birds and check their emails. Thank goodness for businesses that still need desktop computers or Microsoft will have to start tightening their belt.

Android is not successful because it runs on the linux kernel, it is successful because it hides the fact that its linux.
 
Urg. Hate it. Slow, unresponsive, resizes tabs on the fly, wtf? Flat buttons, text boxes now look like they are out of place, like they are covering the real text box under them. From a visual and usable viewpoint it sucks. Pretty much a part of win8 is pasted in, doesn't belong in windows 7.

System restored back to ie9.
 
Dang can't edit, anyway, if this is still the direction they are going, it's just cementing my resolve that my next os upgrade will be straight to full time linux. I'm just holding for now while steam gets sorted out. As soon as the full library can be played without mods, as in it just works, I'm there. :)

Not sure what's going on with you but none of that sounds right.

True in a way, specifically android is successful because a real company with money is backing it. If I have learned that it is very rare for something free to ever really take off, there always has to be a profit motive behind almost all successful trends.

I don't know either. It was wierd. Links just wouldn't work when clicked. I had to close the tab and open it again. There were long delays at times when things were clicked.

When closing tabs, the first remaining tab would be like 4x as long, after a few seconds it resized itself.

Visually it was appaling. Button styles were flat, text boxes appeared to not belong, even though they were in the correct places. A whole new style was being applied to just in ie10, totally seperate from my Aero settings. The popular sites window when you open a new tab, oh boy it was looking like total shit with such a high contrasted view.

But I'm back to ie9 and it's working as it should. Nothing wrong with my computer either, 8gb ram, amd 955 cpu, intel 520 ssd, ati 5850 video. It's all far from slow.

Well there's your problem. You are using amd cpu and amd gpu with a intel ssd.

I've not gotten into the "why" it's successful. You may be right, but as rudy said, it's also successful because it's being pushed by a company with an almost unlimited budget.

Yea...I have two GMail accounts one personal one dev/public...I try signing into both simultaneously (which is easy under Chrome). Guess what? "Internet Explorer has stopped working and needs to close", the second I try to add the second account.

Yay! For broken software!!!!

From what page are you trying to add the second simultaneous account? From an already logged in GMail add-account menu?

I haven't bothered testing IE10 further as I tried logging into my 2nd account half-a-dozen times and every time it crashes IE10.

Yes, the dropdown menu in the top right then the "add account" button from inside Gmail. Ill try a few times and see if it errors!
 
Tried a few times and nothing. Do you have any extensions or accelerators? Google sites do seem kind of made to work only on Chrome lots of the time (which is rather annoying :D).
 
Google sites are messed up, this is not surprising they are trying to move people over to chrome. Check on compatibility mode and try to remove it to fix issues with Google sites. Alt > Tools > compatibility settings > remove Google from the list.
 
I don't see what's the problem with Google backing up Android with money. Canonical with Ubuntu does the same. Of course Canonical does not have the money power of Google but it pays out somehow. I don't mind having a Amazon button on my Unity deskbar considering everything else is open and I can go ahead and remove the button if I wish.

In fact, Windows 8 having advertisements on apps is what I call absurd. I paid for the damn thing. If I didn't, it would be OK, but that's not the case.

I figured it out... Oddly it was Chrome Frame that was causing the problem.

Irony much?

LMFAO.
 
Well Im still on this thing and I have to say I like it. Have on real complaints at all with it. Guess Ill stick with it for a while longer and then when it starts to bog down, Ill jump back over to Chrome. But so far, looks like IE10 is pretty solid at least for mainstream users like me.
