In Windows 10 will be a new browser from Microsoft - Spartan
A well-known technical columnist specializing in Microsoft products, Mary Jo Foley, claims that, according to its sources, the future Windows 10 browser intends to move away from the particular glory of the Internet Explorer phrase and change its name to Spartan.
It is likely that technically the browser will remain almost the same: they are not going to switch to WebKit and refuse Trident, as well as to use something else instead of the Chakra JavaScript engine developed in Redmond for Internet Explorer 9.0. Earlier it was reported that the Spartan visual solution will use the work of competitors - Chrome and Firefox, as well as the possibility of using extensions. Nevertheless, Spartan is likely to be a completely separate lightweight browser in Windows 10, in which, to ensure compatibility, IE 11 will be saved (as a heavy version), and Spartan itself will be the browser available for both desktop and mobile devices.
A few months ago, Microsoft engineers told us that they have no plans to port any versions of Internet Explorer to other platforms (unlike, for example, from Office). However, as Foley says, “Spartan is not IE” and therefore the option of porting it to Android and iOS is possible.
Recall that Microsoft sent journalists an invitation to an event dedicated to Windows 10 on January 21. There are no official details, but Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, as well as members of the board of directors Terry Meyerson and Joe Belfiore, are responsible for developing Windows. Predictably, then the opportunity of work of a new operating system both on dekstop and on mobile devices will be presented.
