A few weeks after the release of IE9, while users are begin to adapt to it, Microsoft decides to follow the movements that the other rival companies started and launched what will be the 10th version of Microsoft browser. This is still only the first preview version, but shows all the new possibilities that this new browser will bring.
Similar to what was done in the early development of IE9, Microsoft decided to give their users a small sample of what has been ongoing on the future version of IE. According to Microsoft, these versions are planned for preview and are released every 8 / 12 weeks, showing the developments that are being made.
The news from IE10 are varied and will make it a more appealing browser and able to fight in the arena of web browsers that are on the market. The bet was made in developing support for CSS3. The features that were developed in this new version are:
- CSS3 Multi-column Layout
- CSS3 Grid Layout
- Flexible Layout CSS3 Box
- CSS3 Gradients
- ES5 Strict Mode
All these standards are now emerging and becoming the norm. For this reason, Microsoft decided to bet on them and make their support a reality in IE. If you want to test all these new features, you should install this first preview of IE10 and IE TestDrive access the site. There, you should only choose the experience you want to test and see its application.
The video below shows the features that IE10 will bring and how the web developers will be able to apply them in their websites.

The release of this first sample of the new version of IE has put Microsoft on the path that is to be traced by its main competitors. The availability of versions with development cycles and a shorter life. It is a forced and presumably bet, otherwise Microsoft would run into the serious risk of seeing his browser on a obsolete tool in-short space of time .
