Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 is the quickest version of the browser yet. The options menu is still there for the more technically inclined but it hasn't received any update. Users can get to all of the options from the little gear icon on the top right. Menus have been simplified and the menu bar is still hidden by default. If you have a lot of tabs open, the interface can look a bit cluttered. Tabs and the address bar share the same space. The forward and back buttons are integrated into the window, making the look of Internet Explorer 10 Preview more seamless. The interface of Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 has changed only a little. Still, there are plenty of interface and upgrades under the hood.
While Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 8 lives a double life as a touch-based and desktop browser, Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 only presents the desktop version of IE 10.
