Microsoft has released a ‘platform preview’ of Internet Explorer 10 which will “change the way consumers experience the net”, reports The Telegraph.

Coming just a month after IE9, the company claims the new iteration of its web browser will offer further hardware acceleration and build on trends established by the previous version.

The release comes as search marketing professionals are just getting used to the final version of IE9. Nevertheless, with improved features and increased web fidelity trends, the new web browser will become essential to the search market.

However, here’s the catch – IE10 will not run on anything less than Windows 7. IE9 left XP users out in the cold and it seems that IE10 will be shunning Vista users.
