IE10 May Get a New Test Build for Windows 7
Microsoft will finally release a preview of IE10 for Windows 7 in November
Microsoft will finally launch a preview of Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 in mid-November. With the Windows 8 launch less than two weeks away, Microsoft has obviously been focusing on the release of Internet Explorer 10 for its new operating system lately. Internet Explorer 10, after all, will be an integral part of Windows 8, both on the Metro/Windows 8 UI side of the OS and on the classic desktop. As far as IE10 for Microsoft’s older operating systems, though, the company has stayed relatively quiet until now.
According to Microsoft, IE10 for Windows 7 will be based on the “same standards based platform for developers to target as IE10 on Windows 8.” It still remains odd that Microsoft won’t ship IE10 for Windows 7 weeks after its launch on Windows 8. While IE10 is fairly deeply integrated into the Windows 8 experience and has been optimized for touch, it’s hard to see why Microsoft couldn’t release it for both operating systems at the same time.
