[QUOTE=Zedicus Mann;35184234]Like what?[/QUOTE]
Cleaner Interface
pinning websites WITH live updates
A better Javascript engine
HTML5 hardware acceleration
Enhanced security
Onebox (even though this is becoming a web standard to most browsers, see chrome)
Microsoft is offering some good things to the table and now they're seeing how good it is to keep up with web standards instead of releasing a browser that is clunky, unreliable and needs special optimization just to render a single page.
Every since I installed Windows 8 on my laptop it's been overheating when I play games and kicking the fans up. Never had this problem on Windows 7 and I was playing the same games.
Also all drivers are installed.

Everything is hardware accelerated. The CPU cannot exist as software.

Chrome started all that.
I will admit IE is getting better, but other browsers are just even better than that.

Also I'm pretty sure you can toggle some hardware acceleration in Chrome's experimental stuff. (about:flags)

Do you know what hardware acceleration is?
So, how do I delete the memory of my Win 8 boot?
I formatted the partition so the OS is gone, but it comes up like I still have the choice.

Use EasyBCD to remove the entry.

You could do that is msconfig.msc if you wanted to do it without installing software.

Yeah but the main thing is that this is Internet Explorer, the browser that used to be like this

It has came a long way from that, you have to admit that even if you don't like it or not.

That's beyond nitpicky. It's just dumb.
Give me all the boxes you want, but it's still true. Hardware pushes the software around.

Just stop it, you're just making yourself look stupid.
[QUOTE=Brock Obama;35180031]Nope. IE is, was, and always will be, horrible. Why? Because it uses Trident as it's engine. Wake me up if they ever incorporate Webkit.[/QUOTE]
You do know that them incorporating webkit would probably the worst thing to happen. It would pretty much make webkit by far the dominant rendering engine as it would definitely dwarf gecko and presto. And webkit based exploits could potentially target all browsers.
On top of that, current trident performs a number of CSS standards better than webkit.

What is different in IE10 compared to IE9?

Under the hood stuff, HTML5, CSS, and some more performance tweaks.
Over the hood stuff, it looks like it was designed for toddlers and old people.

Oh you got to be fucking kidding me. And this is coming from a chrome user right? IE9/10 have based their UI off Chrome because they find chrome to be a very simple and nice UI. There is no way in hell that this has been designed for toddlers and old people.
Metro UI has been designed for a more modern era whereas old people may find it harder to get around.
Brock, you're either a massive troll or you're some computer illiterate dumbass and quite frankly I can't tell.
He's not a troll, he's just shitposting.

I like Chrome's UI a lot, it looks very sleek, consistent, simple, and has the minimum amount of buttons it needs.
IE10's (desktop) UI on the other hand doesn't; ignoring the scroll bars which don't match anything else in the UI, there's the unnecessarily large back/forward buttons, the useless "compatibility view" button, in addition to the also unneeded "view security information" button (which they could have done like Chrome's). Additionally, I dislike the entire search drop down thingy (and think the button is, once again, unneeded). Never mind that Chrome consistently loads pages faster than IE for me.
Is IE9 and 10 UI an improvement over previous versions of IE, sure. But that's not really saying all that much.
Note that I'm not agreeing with the person you quoted (I really don't see the connection between poor UI choices and old people), I'm simply saying IE's UI could be much better than it currently is.

It does have sometime away before the UI gets okayish, I mean they did a great job at making it of what it is now but I do agree some shit needs to go. However, compatibly mode is still needed as many sites still use some shit that may not be supported in older browsers, it's like saying why do we need IEtab for, some websites work better with IE and some work better with IE6-7, so IE9/10 still need that button, it should be hidden by default and only brought up if you right click like InPrivate.
However, I don't know if Microsoft is planning to keep the UI the same for desktop IE10 and just leave it at where IE9 was or introduce a metro desktop style browser that looks good, feels good and is generally good.

I'm amazed you can keep a linux installation running with your mental capacity.
[QUOTE=inconspicious;35202053]I'm amazed you can keep a linux installation running with your mental capacity.[/QUOTE]
To be honest (and I say this as a primarily Windows user) Linux requires almost no maintenance except apt-get upgrade, compared to Windows (where apps more often do not uninstall cleanly, where fragmentation is more of an issue, where viruses are more prevalent, etc.)
I can't tell if Brock is a troll or just very very poorly informed, but hardware accelerated means you're doing something with hardware OTHER than the CPU, for instance your graphics card, that may or may not be specialized for what you want to do but gives you performance benefits due to how it is designed. So unless you call everything with a processor a CPU, no, hardware acceleration is definitely not just 'shit that runs on the CPU'.

Linux hates people who like to fiddle and don't know what the fuck they are doing.
Windows is [I]slightly[/I] more forgiving in that department.

uhh you do know that the apt package is only present in debian based distributions right?
Linux is way harder to maintain than windows, exept if you use a spoonfeed distribution like ubuntu. Just take a look at Arch(thats what most linux users use here).
