A bit stupid if they only support IE since people may have a Apple Mac or one of the tablets. i thought this only supporting IE had gone out years ago, shows how behind some companies still are.
I've found loads of sites dont work on tablets since getting one.
This is fun, installed it on my work PC and after the reboot, Windows Update tells me IE9 is available to install. Reckon that could cause confusion/problems for WSUS users.
Windows 10 installed on my desktop OK but when I try to install on my laptop I get a long message ending:- windows 6.1-x86-en-us.en-us.exe is not a valid win32 application.
Any ideas?. Laptop is running Vista.

Internet Explorer 10 is only available for Windows 8 and Windows 7, not Windows Vista.
Windows Vista is now out of mainstream support (Mainstream support: Ended on April 10, 2012), and now there is now only extended support for commercial users.
For the home user though security updates will be available until extended support ends April 11, 2017 for Windows Vista
But, this does mean that you should not expect any Microsoft product updates, like Internet Explorer.

There are some subtle UI changes:
- It now uses Windows 8 scrollbars in the main window (why on Windows 7 I ask), yet strangely not in other areas of the programme (for example the Favorites menu). Great bit of consistency MS.
- Windows 8 type button on the Favorites menu, but not on other menus (for example the add-ons menu) - more fantastic consistency!
- The Forward and Back buttons no longer have a gradient on them, they are now flat like Windows 8.
- Likewise, tabs no longer have a gradient on them.
- Unified Stop and Refresh buttons - its about f****** time!
The scrolling on mine (Windows 7 x64, IE10) now seems less 'chuggy' now whether that is because of IE10 or just that installing it has cleared out some cobwebs from IE9, I don't know or care!

Windows 10? Where can I get a copy and is it better than Windows 8 or even worse, Vista?

They do if you install the ie tab addons
No seriously, it's scrolling faster and generally zipping around.
I'm liking it so far!

As you don't use it your just making things up lol, you don't know if its faster.
And how is it compared to other browsers?
What era are they living in? Do they still think it's the 90s/early 00s when nearly every internet user used IE?
How has Safari not moved on?
Which means 'no 3rd party plug-ins'? Does the desktop IE10 have built-in Flash a la Chrome?
Good article except;
I thought that at least WAS common knowledge

Thanks for info.
That don't surprise me,
I never said it was not faster, i said that some people think things are faster and they are not.
I have used software that I think is faster than the old version and then after a couple of days, think, no, it is not really any faster.
Well, that makes sense;) Think before you type noise lol

HA HA That's a trick question as you can't get worse than Windows 8!
Windows ME! and there is nothing wrong with Windows 8
Now I liked Windows ME - But yes I do and did realise I was the only one on planet earth.
There is no windows 10 yet probably not for some years until after windows 9.
