Release IE10 for WinXP, and don't check authentication.



Given that IE 10 (and 9 before it) builds on core Windows APIs only introduced in Windows 7 I'd consider that unlikely. And they definitely won't invest the time and effort of backporting DirectWrite, Direct2D and whatnot to XP (this might even include DirectX 10 and/or 11 along with WARP) which is already out of mainstream support and only get security patches.




Consider applying for YC's W25 batch! Applications are open till Nov 12.
