A new preview version of Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 will be available tomorrow, according to LiveSide. The site apparently got tis information from a Chinese technology blog called iFanr, which attended an IE10 media press event in Beijing today. Ifanr cited comments from a Microsoft executive, who announced the imminent release of the preview version of the browser.

The Microsoft spokesperson declined to comment, saying that the company doesn't talk about rumours.

If this is true, the update will be the first preview since June 2011. Since that time, Microsoft had given few details about further builds or information about when a final version of IE10 for Windows 7 would be available.

The company said in a blog post last month that a new preview would be available in mid-November. At that time, Rob Mauceri, group program manager of Internet Explorer, said the new browser for Windows 7 "has the same standards based platform for developers to taget as IE10 on Windows 8."

Today Xbox have released a new update for the Xbox 360 dashboard, this occurs yearly, and to be perfectly honest I wasn't expecting any dramatic over hauls of what they currently have, but there have been a few significant tweaks to the dashboard.

Well this is it! The new dashboard, obviously it does look better when there is a premium theme as the background, but the actual dashboard is the main focus. As you can probably see, this layout is almost identical to Microsoft's brand new operating system 'Windows 8'. I knew for a fact that there would be some similarities between the two of them, but I did not think that they would look this much alike! Although I approve of the new Xbox dashboard, I feel that they could have really gone out on a limb and made it something special, something to appeal to more customers, and increase their sales, as good as it is, it doesn't look like Microsoft have used maximum effort in designing this operating system.

'Windows 8'

There are a few new features on the dashboard (all be it small ones). The most significant one, I think is  the introduction of Internet explorer, which is extremely useful and I really am quite fond of this idea. I felt that the Xbox has always been lacking in the web browser department, the reason being that the Playstation 3 had one, and the 360 did not. Now that has changed I feel that the Xbox's browser 1-up's the PS3's. The reason being that Internet Explorer has been around for quite some time, and Microsoft have had the time to enhance it, and listen to the constructive criticisms of their customers. Whilst PS3 have made a browser specifically for Playstation (PS3, PSVita, PSP), which is an advantage, but I think it is more of a disadvantage. This is because Internet Explorer is used for both computers, and the Xbox, (although some adjustments had to be made to allow it to run on xbox) and this means that Microsoft will have previous experiences with fixing their browser, ensuring that it is as safe as possible, so if any problems are found with the Xbox Internet Explorer, they will be able to fix them with ease.

According data compiled by Stat Counter, Google Chrome is now the most used web browser being closely followed by Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has been the most used browser for some time but conceded their title to the very popular Google Chrome. From the chart you can see that there is a steady increase in Google Chrome's popularity alongside a steady fall in Internet Explores popularity, which could be caused by people switching their browser from one to the other.

Firefox is third, while Safari and Opera are fourth and fifth, who are also a long way off third place. It is doubtful that Internet Explorer will ever get back to its days where it dominated being the most used web browser but the release of Internet Explorer 10 (Preview here for Windows 7 only) could tempt back lost users.

Testing the amount of people using different browsers across the Internet is very difficult and the stats received can not always be accurate so this chart could not be telling the whole story. However from this chart and the time of testing the title belongs to Google Chrome.
