The new Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 Release Preview is 30 percent faster than the competition, says Microsoft. But more importantly, Web browsing is once again a big deal in Redmond.
Buoyed by the good news of market share growth in August for Internet Explorer, Microsoft is touting major improvements in the new Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 Release Preview on Wednesday.
The virtual machine version of the IE 11 Release Preview will be available at modern.ie later this week.
The IE 11 Release Preview, equivalent to the "release candidate" stage of the traditional software development cycle, is the last pre-release version of IE 11 before it becomes available to all Windows 7 owners.

seems like it
apparently I had to get a whole new Firefox downloaded, although I cannot tell the difference
Can people still download those old browsers?
Might be fun to try. For a while.
Was it only a couple of years ago that the linux coders found something like 37 exploits in an MS product within a single month and released fixes for them, while MS only admitted to 3 or 7 or some ridiculously low number and officially sanctioned some releases?
won’t stop nagging you...
I hear ya on that one. I am THIS CLOSE!!! to totally dumping FF, I’m getting sick and tired of the constant software updates, not to mention FF is one of the biggest resource hogs on the planet.
Now I’m playing with IE8 and am quite pleasantly surprised. It let me import my bookmarks. It even LET ME change my default search provider and didn’t lock me into the Bing BS!
Wish there was an about:config, though. I would love tighter controls over cache location, tab bar placements, etc, etc.
