Κατά τη διάρκεια της εκδήλωσης για την παρουσίαση των Windows 10 τον Ιανουάριο στην έδρα της Microsoft στο Redmond, η εταιρεία ανακοίνωσε ότι ο Internet Explore it will be replaced with a completely new program browsing when the new operating system is released later this year.
While some believe that the new Spartan browser will coexist with the familiar Internet Explorer, the company has probably decided that with Windows 10 comes the end of Internet Explorer as reported by The Verge.
Microsoft's chief marketing officer, Chris Capossela, has confirmed that the name Spartan may change, and that the company is constantly searching, even involving Google Chrome users to discover a Microsoft brand that will be appealing to everyone, independently from the application they use.
The Spartan browser will be available as a modern app for desktops, tablets, and smartphones, will be offered alongside Internet Explorer in a number of versions of Windows, most likely in the releases Enterprise, where there will be compatibility issues with internally developed applications.
But for all other Windows 10 though, the Spartan browser could replace it Internet Explorer, thus giving the end user an operating system not only with a new environment but also with new applications and renewed features.
With this move, Microsoft seems to want to combat the negative perception that has been established about Internet Explorer. New operating system after the "mound" of Windows 8-8.1, and a new browser, it remains to be seen the impact of the buying public on Microsoft's plans.
