I'm hearing various complaints in the few sysadmin forums I still participate in, from websites failing to resolve, to specific Microsoft products failing to work in IE10, most notably Outlook Web Access 2003 and Project Web Access 2003 do not appear to work properly in IE10. These are more of an issue if you're accessing older corporate stuff however.

The problem with Project is particularly amusing as what the server does is it checks the first digit of the version number only, therefore it thinks you're using IE1 and sends back a message telling you you need IE5 or later. Not really the fault of IE, but at the end of the day, rolling back to IE9 is the cheapest and easiest fix.

Personally I keep IE around only for corporate and other crap that requires IE and use another browser for general day to day web browsing.

I'm stuck on IE10 as I have Windows8 and I literally only use it for two things, OWA2007, which works fine, and Cisco WebEx which doesn't work at all, requiring me to use an alternative method. If I were on Win7, this plus all the complaints that are filtering my way would have me sticking with IE9 for a while.

Personally I prefer Firefox, other browsers are available.
