Why is it limited to operating system version? Shouldn't it be a browser feature?
- jokoon 12y agoI'd guess because it's a low level optimization, but I'm not sure.
- spydum 12y agoBecause they want to entice people to use the windows 10 preview
- pionar 12y ago(Disclaimer: I don't work for MS, so this may not be entirely accurate anymore.) It's probably because IE is really just a UI wrapper around system libraries[0]. The changes for HTTP/2 would be made not in IExplorer.exe, but instead in WinInet.dll (and possibly URLMon.dll). This is because IE isn't the only application that will use these new features. EDIT: I should add that you don't just go changing system libraries in a patch Tuesday, you'd wait and throw them in a new version, hence the 10 preview.
