If you're part of the dwindling group still using Windows Vista, you'll have to wait until your next upgrade to take IE10 for a spin -- Microsoft has confirmed that the latest version of its browser won't run on its last-gen operating system, either in developer preview form or when the final software ships. While it's tempting to interpret that as an attempt on Microsoft's part to put the widely loathed Vista in its past, there's actually a precedent for this -- remember that Microsoft cut off XP support when it unveiled IE9. As a Microsoft rep told Computerworld, the company would rather not have to develop software for a lowest-common denominator. At least, if you do have to stick with the newly minted IE9, you can be sure you'll be in good company

bit unfair for the thousands of people and offices that still use XP - i know vista was not that popular. But there are thousands of people out there that either cannot afford a new pc ( win 7 will not work on some most machines) or are to scared to buy a new pc as they dont know much about them.
mind you i might download this new IE10 on my other pc to see what its like but is it much different from 9??

i dont think there will be much difference to be honest Linny
 
ive just looked as i dont use IE very often and i have 8 so just downloading 9 now so the IE10 preview i looked at means nothing lol!
 
makes no difference to me.the only time im on ie is when i go to the microsoft update page.after using firefox i cant imagine going back to ie.i suppose there will come a time when i have to move away from xp ,but i dont see it coming just yet.
