Microsoft today released the first preview of IE10, indicating a much faster browser development pace as well. Future platform previews will be updated in a cycles of 8 – 12 weeks.
Microsoft browser release cycle was 2 years with IE8 and IE9, now it appears that the cycle has been cut to at least 1 year, as the first developer preview of IE10 has been released earlier today. Microsoft said that it has been developing IE10 for about three weeks and will be supporting native HTML5 as well as several new CSS3 features such as color gradients and multi-column layouts – as well as ES5 Strict Mode.
We did not notice JavaScript performance improvements, but Microsoft has posted several new demonstrations at ietestdrive.com how to take advantage of the hardware acceleration features of the browser. We will be posting a review of the new browser platform as soon as we have a better idea how this new browser is evolving.
