Internet Explorer 10

Microsoft announced Internet Explorer 10 at MIX 11 in Las Vegas, releasing the first Platform Preview at the same time. 

At the show, it was said that Internet Explorer 10 was about 3 weeks in development. 

This release further improves upon standards support, including CSS3 gradients. Internet Explorer 10 drops support for Windows Vista and will only run on Windows 7 and later. 

Internet Explorer 10 Developer Preview was also released on the Windows 8 Developer Preview platform.

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", which only runs on Windows 7 and later; subsequent platform previews only run on Windows 8. 

It expanded on Internet Explorer 9 functionality in regards to CSS 3 uptake and hardware acceleration. 

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.

On Windows 8 it will be divided into two versions with different user interfaces: a new Metro app that will not support plug-ins, and a traditional desktop application, which will retain plug-in support.
