Yes, you heard it right. This is some bizarre news. Though your spanky new Internet Explorer 9 is quite good and comparable to Firefox 4? Well, Microsoft ain’t slowing down, and just demoed a new Internet Explorer 10 early alpha build at the MIX developer conference in Las Vegas.

You can download the new Platform Preview right now at Microsoft’s Test Drive site and see where the company’s going with this early iteration, which adds support for additional web standards like CSS Gradients and CSS3 Flexible Box Layout.

What’s more interesting here is the platform that they’re using. Apparently this Dean Hachamovitch demoed IE10 on a 1GHz Arm chip. Shortly after, Nvidia tweeted that the SoC that’s used is their Tegra 2.

Looks like Windows 8 on ARM platform isn’t much of a problem.
