Browser wars are not new and they never seem to dampen. Every time I check my browsers for updates there is a new one (and sometimes I just ignore them because I am lazy). While these browsers bring in new features, they sometimes get heavy on RAM, on processor. But thanks to new advancements like Hardware Acceleration even with such experience the loads is taken by idle graphic processors.

But we are not here to talk about what browsers have become from what they were in past. We are here to talk about Internet Explorer 10. The next awaited browser from Microsoft. But with Windows 8 you will get 2 IEs. Confused? Well one for Metro UI and one for Desktop view and they are NOT the same and their concerns are different as the UIs are meant for different purposes.
