Is it wise to allow this update or should one skip it and stick with
IE10?

Thanks for asking the question, I'm waiting too. FireFox is my preferred
choice of browser anyway but I do like to have the other popular ones to
test my website.

My experience is that anything newer than IE 8 causes blurry fonts in the
email-reading pane of Windows Live Mail. Each time I have been offered an
upgrade to IE, I have set it to "Hide" so it doesn't get installed
accidentally if I install everything that is offered. Uninstalling newer
versions of IE (if I accidentally install one) restores the non-blurry
fonts, but it is a pain to have to do it.

I just installed it in my Win7HP 64 bit system and my fonts are fine in my
Live Mail.
They were fine with IE ver 10 also. Perhaps you could try reinstalling
Windows Live Mail.
Haven't checked it for speed, etc, but so far it is working fine.

I did the regular updates today and IEv11 was not offered as an
update? Where did you update it from? Any problem with
Favorities/Cookies or anything like that after updating? Best
reason(s) to update?

I have not had any regular updates today, only IE11 is listed.

I'm running Win7 64bit and I had 16 updates today and IE11 was not one
of them.


Me, too, in case anyone's collecting data points.
All updates worked perfectly.
Win7, x64, IE-ten. Word2007. Also got a couple of MSE updates.
J.


But I did get IE 11 (yesterday).

MS must be rolling it out in dribs & drabs. Maybe they want me to feel
superior and you to feel inferior?

Kidding, of course.


There's a slight possibility that IE11 is being restricted (not pushed)
or limited to certain Win7SP1 sytems.
- i.e. you might have got it yesterday but not today. Though, if
hidden it would still be present (not removed).
