The best browser test for windows8 was conducted by New Relic, a web application performance management firm among browsers including Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and IE. New Relic has collected data on application performance on 40 billion page views per month across different operating systems, and has taken that big amount of data and analyzed it to determine the fastest browsers on each operating system.

Internet Explorer10, which is currently only available for Windows 8 has showed the best performance followed by its predecessor IE9. IE’s biggest rival Google Chrome, the world’s most popular web browser came in at 5th position behind Firefox and Safari. However, on the Mac platform, the version of Chrome- Chrome 19 finished first. Google’s latest offering, Chrome 23, which was released a few days back, was however not taken into the test.

The news will prove good for Internet Explorer, which was always considered as an underdog in the browser battles. The people at Microsoft were also happy about the result as company said in a statement: “Internet Explorer 10 is fast and fluid, and built from the ground up for real-world performance.

Windows head Steven Sinofsky announced that Windows 8 will hit stores on 26th October this year. Users can get it as an upgrade as well as on new PCs starting from the launch date. Earlier this month, Microsoft had promised to ship the new operating system from late October, while a release preview was made available early in June.

Microsoft has taken a bold step with Windows 8 by essentially keeping the same OS for PCs and tablets. Moreover, apps can be easily ported between the desktop version and Windows Phone 8 for mobile phones. There may even be an Xbox-compatible version in the future, if the grapevine is to be believed. For now though, you can play with the release preview and check out our various features on the upcoming OS: our brief hands-on with the tablet version, how to effectively use the new touch gestures, bringing back the classic Start button, and the steps for running Windows 8 off a USB drive.
