Microsoft has released 4th Platform Preview of its upcoming web browser IE10.
According to Microsoft, this new IE10 Platform Preview 4 only supports Windows 8 Developer Preview which means you can't install it in previous Windows versions like Windows XP, Vista or 7.
This IE10 preview adds more support for HTML5 technologies, enabling richer Web applications with significantly improved performance. IE10's hardware acceleration of technologies like SVG, CSS3 transforms and animations delivers faster rendering than other browsers.
Highlighted Features:
- Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for safe use of XMLHttpRequest across domains.
- File API Writer support for blobBuilder allowing manipulation of large binary objects in script in the browser.
- Support for JavaScript typed arrays for efficient storage and manipulation of typed data.
- CSS user-select property to control how end-users select elements in a Web page or application.
- Support for HTML5 video text captioning, including time-code, placement, and captioning file formats.
IE10 Preview 4 introduces an updated quirks mode that is more consistent and interoperable with the way quirks modes works in other browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. This updated quirks mode supports quirks for page layout, while allowing use of more up-to-date standards features like HTML5 elements for audio, video, canvas, and more.

"According to Microsoft, this new IE10 Platform Preview 4 only supports Windows 8 Developer Preview"
Microsoft is right - I edited the IE 10 Platform Preview 4 MSI with Orca and deleted the string value "NOT Build < 8102" in Errors category and IE 10 Platform Preview 4 installed on my Windows 7 system.
But when I launched it an error occured -
"Entry point XYZ cannot be found in kernel32.dll"
(Replacing XYZ with the correct name - don't remember it now).

does it works on 7

@Faisal, no it doesn't; see my comment just above your comment.

@Swapnil, XYZ is CheckTokenMembershipEx. It is a new function introduced in Windows 8. The final release (and most likely the beta/rc) will be available for Windows 7. I'm guessing there will be an update required beffore then
