No IE10 for Vista users

[jamescv7]

You might have noticed that the Platform Preview release for IE10 was only compatible with Windows 7. Well, if you’re a Vista user, you’re not only out of luck with the Platform Preview, but also with the final release.

Here’s the official word, straight from a Microsoft spokesperson:

Windows Vista customers have a great browsing experience with IE9, but in building IE10 we are focused on continuing to drive the kind of innovation that only happens when you take advantage of the ongoing improvements in modern operating systems and modern hardware.

One legendary OS and one pain in the neck eliminated from the timeline of IE.
They want everybody to switch to a more secure version of Internet Explorer, and yet they make that impossible for almost half of their users.

Microsoft's main objective isn't " to switch to a more secure version of Internet " ..but to switch everyone to their latest OS.... )

EDIT : make that "BUY" their latested OS ..
