#Project Spartan

After two decades of service, Microsoft’s own Chris Capossela expressed the software giant’s plan of moving the Internet Explorer brand to the back seat in favor of the new and improved browser codenamed Project Spartan for the upcoming Windows 10 operating system. According to Capossela, Microsoft has not yet decided on the name of the new browser, but what is guaranteed is that the Redmond-based firm wants to steer clear of the Internet Explorer brand for Project Spartan. He did, however, mention that the use of Project Spartan as the main browser of Windows 10 will not exactly be the doom of the beleaguered browser, at least not yet. Internet Explorer will use the same dual rendering engines as Spartan, ensuring web developers can consistently target the latest web standards. For what it’s worth, we hope that this all hullaballoo isn’t just for the sake of not passing the negative image of IE to Project Spartan. What Microsoft should really be focusing on, in our opinion, is how they can make their upcoming Project Spartan good enough, feature and security wise, to not suffer the same fate as IE and compete against popular third-party browsers like Chrome and Firefox.
