Internet Explorer 10 Overview

2011-04-12
today I'm here with a first look at Internet Explorer 10 so you guys heard me right this is already Internet Explorer 10 explored mine just was released not too long ago however Microsoft is already hard at work at the next iteration of their browser so let me give you guys a quick little overview of what all is new now before we begin anything I want to point this out this is a platform preview this is not a beta this is not an alpha this is really really early in the development and as such they are not using any UI at all as you guys can see this is just a super super basic UI don't worry this is not going to what this is not going to be what the final version of Internet Explorer 10 looks like at all this is just purely for testing the browser I'm sure they'll have a nice shiny UI with tabs and a back button and all that kind of good stuff a little bit later on so there are a couple of key things that are brand new and explore chin let me demo them both for you so the first one is a support for css3 now this is a pretty big deal of course a couple of the other major browsers such as Firefox and Chrome now do support this as you can see here in Explorer 10 does as well so purely using css3 we can go ahead and take a look at a couple of different gradients if you're not really technically inclined you probably I kind of know or care about what this means whoever drew web developers definitely really nice to hear that Internet Explorer 10 is really saying ride up along with everyone else it's not falling behind like they have done in the past another benchmark I'd like to show you is the fishbowl now again these are all in an Explorer 10 specific benchmarks however they do work in other browsers as you can see here this works really quite nicely this dish Bowl is basically an html5 so this is all done html5 there's no flash or Java or anything like that it's all running in html5 it's being accelerated by the GPU this is something that Internet Explorer has been really while lather Microsoft has been pushing with Internet Explorer since the version 9 and they've improved the compatibility and all that kind of stuff in Internet Explorer 10 now my screen recorder might show this looking a little bit laggy but as you guys can see here it's running nice and buttery smooth about 50 frames per second really quite nice now as far as speed tests and all that kind of stuff this has only come out this morning so I haven't had my time to run all the tests I would like to hilber in my you know I spent about an hour so testing it against a couple of as well as an explorer 9 and overall I've got to say it's actually really impressively fast now I wasn't expecting too much of this obviously an explorer 9 just finished out they haven't had a whole lot of time to work on it but what the tweaks and mods and all that kind of stuff that they've done have it substantially increased the speed it seems to be a decent bit faster than in explorer 9 and even in some tests it is approaching or even surpassing chrome 10 which is pretty much the fastest browser around so definitely very good news looks like that Microsoft's going to continue to keep the eye on the speed not let internet explorer fall behind the pack like they have done in the past anyway guys that's it for my first look at Internet Explorer 10 if you're interested in learning more feel free to download it for yourself I'll have a link in the description of this video you can download it it is available for both of Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 so download it give it a shot and let me know what you think in the comments below
