now, where do they stand on WebRTC?

They waited until WebRTC was about to be ratified and then released their own incompatible spec.

This is potentially great news for anyone using a browser. Let's hope that the implementation is close to spec, and makes for a relatively seamless experience across all browsers.

I got so excited for a moment and then you had to go and post this. Microsoft seems to have a desire to make things difficult for web developers.

Love the improved dev tools and WebGL decision, but I also hate how long it's taken MS to reach this point.

Would also love for IE 11 to be available on Windows 7.

I love the look of the new development tools, lightyears ahead of IE10. Lets see how it matches up to Chrome

Is it just me, or are that others that think "Didn't it support that yet?!" at every IE release? I don't use Windows so I never use IE anymore, but I'd think IE9 or 10 would support WebGL by now...

Have they said it won't be on Windows 7? I would expect them to release it on Win7 to try and keep their market share. I hope they do as I am building a WebGL application for work :)

Love the new changes in IE and the direction it is taking.

>IE11 allow you to turn off the SmartScreen filter right in the download UI.

Now only if chrome would do that I can keep myself from switching away from it. Its frustrating to know that everytime I download a file or save an image, the file hash, IP and the download URL is sent to Google. The whole NSA thing isn't making it better either. [1][2]

IE 9 was released only 11 days after WebGL was standardized.

You can turn off the "Safe Browsing" features in Chromium; your link [2] explicitly says how to do so.
