Utterly useless. Bug ridden and holed with security issues
Use Mozilla Firefox - It's a FREE download (and that's a good price!)
Is also quicker and better than MSIEI am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.0 -
I already have firefox but use that just for cashback sites. I prefer to use explorer for everything else. Can I just stay with IE9 or will I be forced to upgrade eventually?Thanx

Chrome uses less memory than Firefox on Win70

Is usually said about ANY release of IE.
Sources for issues with IE10?

It's suggested that Win 7 users should be wary of installing IE10, the article above is still relevant.
It is still an 'Optional' update according to MS.Move along, nothing to see.0 -
I'd avoid for the time being at least until they get the bugs out of it. I installed it, had nothing but problems with it endied up reverting to IE9 and my pc behaved once more.0

I have found some websites no longer work properly since upgrading to IE10 but just access them through Chrome0

You may be forced to move to IE10, but it's unlikely to be for quite some time.I already have firefox but use that just for cashback sites. I prefer to use explorer for everything else. Can I just stay with IE9 or will I be forced to upgrade eventually?
As people have said above, at present IE9 is probably more reliable.0 -
Microsoft seem intent on knackering IE; each release seems to have some new security setting that makes it unusable.0

I've got IE10 on my new Dell Precision workstation and on 2 Dell laptops all running Windows 7 Ultimate. I've had no problems at all. 10 just feels faster and slicker....
