IE10 useage in Windows 8

I was disappointed when I first began to use IE10. I felt they had got ahead of the game. Several sites I visit threw problems at me, and I found multitasking more than one instance of IE, caused it to freeze. I know, Tabbing can be used, but it is my preference to cross read items that way .Anyhow, I elected to select "compatibility" mode for all sites. The problems all went away. I am quite impressed, now, with IE10's performance.

I was also somewhat disappointed with the performance aspects of IE10, however I have since found a work around and am enjoying it in the same fashion as I do IE 9 (second choice). It's unfortunate to see it doesn't play well with the visual editor on the site right now, however we'll continue to look into this. I'd really like some changes to functionality and features now though, considering this version is really nothing more than a sweet polished IE 9 with more web feature support. Oh and by the way Dave, welcome to Windows8Forums.com - great to see a veteran on the site.

Thanks Mitch. Maybe a rewrite into the dictionary. For Veteran read Very old. LOL

One thing we have to understand, this is a very early development preview version that is not ready for prime time at all. Normally we masses of users would not even be allowed to see or use this new OS at this stage of development. Yes there are problems with certain sites, and yes you have to use compatibility mode on certain sites. I have found that it's easier for me for now to use the Desktop View since this gives me the view I am accustomed to. I am also getting on in years so adapting to new concepts and ideas takes me a while. The whole Win 8 experience is new so I'm trying to get accustomed to it a little at a time.

Eventually I got around the interface nav problem by installing the global Administrator and another user. With the user, I am using the vanilla install, with the new interface. Whenever I get stuck, I switch users, which takes about 5seconds and use the Admin, where I have all my usual software installed and have dumped the Metro. I do try and keep to the new interface as much as possible, though.

Originally I found a minor irritation with IE 10 which I detailed in this thread. I have since downloaded and installed Chrome which eliminates this problem. I do realize this is a very early preview of this new browser and will be awaiting a fix from MS.
