I.E 10 & Windows 7?

Options
Hi, never really used 'Internet Explorer', always really used 'Firefox' until recently & started using 'Chrome' as well. My laptop which as Windows 7 is now asking if I want to upgrade with an important update for I.E 10. Would I notice a big change from 9? Does 10 have a PDF reader built in? Is it better than FF or Chrome? Will it be fully functional on Win 7, or is it really for the 'touch' market?

Just wondered about people's opinions
Thx

    1. It looks practically identical at first glance
    2. No - that's a Windows 8 feature
    3. I still prefer Chrome. ;)

    I also think it is hard to detect many changes, at least on the surface, from IE9 so if I used IE which I occasionally do I would upgrade and if I always used Chrome or Firefox it would not be top of my list but no harm will be done if you do.

    IE10 does (finally) have a spell-checker built in.

    I suspect Microsoft haven't drawn much attention to this because it would be an admission of how far behind the competition they'd got by not having it sooner.

    Check out the About Internet Explorer option in IE10 ... do you see a checkbox now for allowing auto-updates? I'm sure that's new. :)
