The bad news? Microsoft's upcoming IE10 browser for Windows 8 will come in two flavors-one a streamlined, "Metro-style" program designed to resemble a smartphone or tablet app, the other a more standard desktop browser.
In other words, everyone who wants to use IE10 will have to choose which flavor they want-and could even end up switching from one to the other mid-task. Microsoft is clearly thumbing the scales toward the Metro version of the browser, although it knows that some, possibly many, users will still prefer a more familiar and more fully fledged desktop version.
