I also did a double-take on that first sentence you quoted. I'm pretty sure I read earlier that they will be prompting first-time users on what their preference will be, and that the "default" basically just means which position that switch will be in when the choice is presented. However, I did some quick fact-checking and I couldn't find anything to back that up; if you don't mind, where did you find that IE10 presents that option?
