Internet Explorer 10 For Windows 7 Available To Download Globally

Microsoft today announced Internet Explorer 10 is now available worldwide in 95 languages for download. According to Rob Mauceri, Group Program Manager, Internet Explorer, with this final release, Internet Explorer 10 brings the same leading standards support, with improved performance, security, privacy, reliability that consumers enjoy on Windows 8, to Windows 7 customers.
The new Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 offers:

20% faster for real world Web sites
The new Internet Explorer for Windows 7 delivers best performance for real world Web sites on your Windows device. As with Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 improves performance across the board with faster page loading, faster interactivity, and faster JavaScript performance, while reducing CPU usage and improving battery life on mobile PCs. In Microsoft's performance lab measurement, Internet Explorer loads real world pages up to 20% faster in top sites for news, social, search, ecommerce, and more.

60% increase in supported modern Web standards
For developers, Internet Explorer 10 brings increased support for modern Web standards powered by hardware acceleration to enable a new class of compelling applications and fast and fluid Web browsing. IE10 adds support for over 30 new modern Web standards beyond IE9, for a 60% increase. These new supported standards in IE10 include many of the latest HTML5, CSS3, DOM, Web Performance, and Web Application specifications across important aspects of Web development including:

Create rich visual effects with CSS Text Shadow, CSS 3D Transforms, CSS3 Transitions and Animations, CSS3 Gradient, and SVG Filter Effects

More sophisticated and responsive page layouts with CSS3 for publication quality page layouts and responsive application UI (CSS3 grid, flexbox, multi-column, positioned floats, regions, and hyphenation), HTML5 Forms, input controls, and validation

Enhanced Web programming model for better offline applications through local storage with IndexedDB and the HTML5 Application Cache; Web Sockets, HTML5 History, Async scripts, HTML5 File APIs, HTML5 Drag-drop, HTML5 Sandboxing, Web workers, ES5 Strict mode support.

Beautiful and interactive Web applications with support for several new technologies like CSS3 Positioned Floats, HTML5 Drag-drop, File Reader API, Media Query Listeners, Pointer Events, and HTML5 Forms.

Improved Web application security with the same markup and support for HTML5 Sandbox for iframe isolation.

However, users of Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 will not receive the same full screen view as their Windows 8 toting counterparts, with this version of Microsoft’s web browser looking rather like the previous version from the outside.
