http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/11/ie10win7620wide.png We’ve known for some time that Microsoft was working on bringing Internet Explorer 10 to Windows 7 – in fact, the company published a blog post promising the preview version would be ready sometime in mid-November. Then, we heard it could be available today. Well, looky here! It is! The Release Preview is indeed now available to download from Microsoft’s site. As you’d expect, the Win 7 build has the same look and feel as the Windows 8 version, with full-screen browsing, hardware acceleration, deep multitouch support and a predictive “Flip ahead” feature that guesses what page you want to see next (page two of a story, the next round of search results, et cetera). If you own a Windows 7 PC that doesn’t have a touchscreen (and you probably do), you should still be able to pull off multitouch gestures in IE using a trackpad, assuming you have the right drivers. If all else fails, though, you can still use the browser with the ol’ mouse and keyboard.Gallery: Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7
