IE 10 comes to Windows 7
IE 10: but will it work without problems is the question ...
I wouldn't be in a rush to install IE 10 going on experience from IE 6, 7, 8, and 9. Most people leave it for a few months before allowing the upgrade!
IE 10 finally comes to Windows 7:
The long-promised Internet Explorer 10 is finally available for Windows 7 users as Microsoft suddenly remembers that there are a few of you out there. You'll need Service Pack 1 installed, but if you're running Windows 7 and haven't blocked the upgrade, it should install automatically through Windows Update - those of you with the IE10 Release Preview installed will get the update today. IE 10 on Windows 7 has many, but not all of the features of IE 10 on Windows 8. You only get the desktop version of the browser, not the full-screen Windows 8 version, and Flash is still a separate plugin that you have to update yourself.

Same same but different
You do get the same much-improved support for web standards, built-in spell check and autocorrect, faster tab closing - and the stalled privacy protecting Do Not Track setting is enabled by default. Microsoft says IE 10 is up to 20 per cent faster than IE9 on the same system, which you can test for yourself in the new HTML5 version of Minesweeper on the IE Test Drive site. When we asked about the delay between shipping Windows 8 and IE 10 last year and delivering it for Windows 7 this week, a Microsoft spokesperson put the emphasis on quality (rather than how much of the IE team is busy building IE 11 for Windows 9, say).
Tapestry for Seniors
Is this a Social Network Manager? ...
Not sure about this one. I guess it is all in the setting up. I dread to think of the problems when the individual products change and adjustments should/need to be made to Tapestry! No advertising means a $10 a month price tag!
Tapestry is a new social media platform designed for seniors:
Australian entrepreneur Andrew Dowling has launched a new app called Tapestry which is designed to keep seniors in touch with their friends and community. Tapestry can connect older users with their loved ones through a simple interface on a tablet or computer browser.
Rather than following their children and grandchildren on numerous social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google + and email, Tapestry funnels all of those feeds into one place where pictures and messages are easily viewed.
