IE10 Packs IE9, IE8, IE7, and IE5 Rendering Modes

Internet Explorer 10 can seamlessly “go back in time” and render websites as if it was one of its predecessors, such as IE5, IE7, IE8, IE9.Not that this is anything new when it comes down to major IE iterations. Microsoft remains committed to supporting legacy websites with new versions of IE just as it still supports legacy applications with fresh Windows releases.Of course, while the IE team has always acted on a mantra of not breaking the web with new IE releases, but packing multiple rendering modes into the browser
is not only about legacy sites.Even sites tailored specifically for IE9 will work seamlessly in IE10, even though their developers might take a while to adapt the projects.The first Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 10 was releases at MIX11 just weeks after IE9 RTW downloads went to the public.IE10 PP1 is currently available to early adopters for testing, and Microsoft offered insight into how to easily switch from one document mode to another.You can force the Platform Preview into different document modes. To do this, click the Debug menu and select one of the Document Modes. You can also press Alt plus the numbers 5, 7, 8, 9 or 0 to select IE5, IE7, IE8, IE9 and IE10 document modes respectively (for example, Alt + 7 for IE7).

There is still no specific date for Internet Explorer 10, but if we consider the development time for version 9, we can calculate a final build around April or May 2012, a date which is also considered as reasonable for release Windows 8. Try Internet Explorer 10 and can be downloaded at the moment, for versions of Windows 7 in 32 and 64 bits. Yes, Windows Vista is the next in the list of discarded Internet Explorer.Apparently Vista does not have the necessary functions to Internet Explorer 10 tofunction at full capacity, exactly the same explanation as Microsoft did with Internet Explorer 9 on Windows XP.
