At the Microsoft event on January 21st, one of the most exciting parts of the event was the official introduction about Project Spartan. After a lot of criticism against Internet Explorer ever since IE6, Microsoft want to totally ditch the idea of a newer version of Internet Explorer and build a new browser from scratch code named Spartan. Microsoft's blog reads as:
"Powered by a new rendering engine, Spartan is designed for interoperability with the modern web. We've deliberately moved away from the versioned document modes historically used in Internet Explorer, and now use the same markup as other modern browsers. Spartan's new rendering engine is designed to work with the way the web is written today."Spartan is designed to run on Desktops, Tablets AND smartphones.
Spartan will also feature Cortana right inside the browser so that she can track flights, find directions, take notes and more.
Spartan will introduce note taking right on the webpage. Spartan freezes a webpage and allows the user to annotate on the webpage and SHARE the annotations with others.
Spartan also offers reading mode (which is there in most mobile browsers now) even for desktop experience with the ability to save articles for offline reading.
Spartan will come out a little later. So it isnt available in the current builds.
