Microsoft announced Internet Explorer 10

Today at the MIX11 conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft announced a new, tenth version of the Internet Explorer browser. Dean Hachamowitch said in his speech: “The only native HTML5 experience on the web today is under Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 9. With it, sites can harness the power of modern hardware and a modern operating system, providing something that was impossible a year ago. Internet Explorer 10 will push the boundaries available to developers even wider. "

The release date was not called, but a preview version is now available for download . As reported, it adds support for CSS3 gradients for background images compared to IE9.
