Internet Explorer 10 Now Available for Windows 7

[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]..lol FF is memory hog of epic proportions. I had 4 tabs open and it was sucking almost a gig of ram. Ridiculous.[/citation]

I have 78 tabs open in three windows in Firefox (I keep a lot of things open for research), and it's using less than 600 MB RAM for me. Something's wrong if your Firefox uses 1 GB for four tabs...

firefox has become the browser joke, like disabling all add-ons. for the "simple' people, that REALLY screws them up. It's typically chrome and ie now.

If IE was a physical object, i would throw kerosene at it and light it on fire while firing a missile at it.

Its not working on Windows 7 x64. At least not for me.on YouTube. I just get a "you are using an out of date browser" and then gives a list of browsers to choose from.. including IE10. If I ignore that it gives me a message that I need Adobe Flash, which I have installed already. If I ignore that and push ahead regardless it says it can't display in this mode and I need to switch to "standard view"... which now, finally, I can actually watch the video.

Trouble is I have to go through all this... every single time. Yes, SP1 is installed. I have no trouble with my other browsers (Firefox, Opera) just IE 10. This at least is an improvement on IE9 where it was impossible to play YouTube under any circumstances at all.

It also managed to completely screw over the fonts on my system, even after uninstalling IE 10 they were still fooked up so I had no alternative but to re-install Windows 7 from scratch. Nice way to spend an evening...not.

So I'm back to IE 8 again. Which works fine, never had any trouble with it..
