Microsoft

It seems that today's Microsoft event - rather than unleashing a bunch of juicy, never-before-heard details on Windows 10 and its associated products - is merely a checklist of all the tidbits we've been hearing over the past couple of months. Still, it's good to know that the rumor mill is doing its job as efficiently as ever, and with the reports of Microsoft working on a new "Spartan" browser to replace the long-standing Internet Explorer, the company has now officially taken the wraps off Project Spartan for Windows 10.

Another screenshot of Microsoft’s upcoming Web browser for Windows 10 - codenamed ‘Spartan’ - has been leaked online. If you've been closely following all Windows 10 developments so far, you would know that the 'Spartan' browser along with Cortana, are some of the most anticipated offerings Windows fans are looking forward to checking out when the desktop OS is released.

Microsoft's proprietary Internet Explorer Web browser has been around for many years, but despite having been bundled with every version of Windows since the very early editions, it has lost considerable appeal when compared to Google's Chrome and Mozilla's Firefox. Thus, the software giant has been preparing a radically-improved surfing client codenamed Spartan, and true to its name, the Spartan browser appears much more powerful, robust, and ready to cope with the demands of the modern Internet user. After some tidbits of info, we now have our closest look yet at what Microsoft is prepping, and below, you can check the key details.
