Microsoft is stepping up their game, that is, if releasing browsers more often is your standard.
IE10 Platform Preview 1 is available for download and is the first step in delivering Microsoft’s next wave of progress in native HTML5 support.
We’re about three weeks into development of IE10, and based on the progress we’ve made, we want to start engaging the development community now. At the MIX conference today, we showed the new browsing engine along with several new browser test drives that anyone on the Web can try out. You can run these at www.ietestdrive.com to see emerging standards like CSS3 Multi-column Layout (link), CSS3 Grid Layout (link) and CSS3 Flexible Box Layout (link), CSS3 Gradients (link), and ES5 Strict Mode in action. We also demonstrated additional standards support (like CSS3 Transitions (link) and CSS3 3D Transforms (link) that will be available in subsequent platform previews of IE10, which we will update every 8-12 weeks.
Microsoft made the Internet Explorer 10 announcement at its MIX developer conference in Las Vegas:
IE6 was like a boil that wouldn’t go away, while each proceeding release of Internet Explorer seemed to ignore or perpetuate browser problems.
It’s sounding like we may see a turn-around with Internet Explorer after all.
