Coming just a month after IE9, the company claims the new iteration of its web browser will offer further hardware acceleration and build on trends established by the previous version.
The release comes as search marketing professionals are just getting used to the final version of IE9. Nevertheless, with improved features and increased web fidelity trends, the new web browser will become essential to the search market.
However, here’s the catch – IE10 will not run on anything less than Windows 7. IE9 left XP users out in the cold and it seems that IE10 will be shunning Vista users.
A Microsoft spokesperson told zdnet.com: “Windows Vista customers have a great browsing experience with IE9, but in building IE10 we are focused on continuing to drive the kind of innovation that only happens when you take advantage of the ongoing improvements in modern operating systems and modern hardware.”
Dean Hachamovitch, the company’s Corporate Vice President for Internet Explorer, wrote on IEBlog: “Ultimately, the point is advancing the interoperable Web and making the Web better.”
Last month, Mr Hachamovitch told computerworld.com that Microsoft don’t want to “dilute their engineering investments” by creating browsers for the Mac, Linux and Windows XP.
