Thomas Nigro, a Microsport Student Partner, and developer of the modern VLC, said on Twitter earlier this month that Microsport is developing a brand new browser.
According to one of MicroSoft's most authoritative sources on the current technology stage, Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet, Spartan Spartan will not be IE 12, it will be a new browser, and much lighter than IE .
Windows 10 (at least desktop versions) will be released with the new Spartan but also with IE 11, according to Foley sources.
Spartan is currently a code name. The name Microsoft will choose for the new browser is not yet known.
Microsoft may introduce Spartan on January 21, when the company unveils the next set of Windows 10 features. According to Foley's sources, it is not certain that Spartan will be functional enough to be included in the new January build of Windows. 10 Technical Preview και οι εκδόσεις προεπισκόπισης για κινητά αναμένεται να είναι διαθέσιμες από τις αρχές του 2015.
