Windows 10

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.

Microsoft first announced Windows 10 a couple of months back - a revamped OS that would seek to unify the various platforms that the software giant currently operates. We already know that it will spark the return of the beloved and dearly-missed Start Menu that seemed to disappear after Windows 7, but it's just one of a number of features that the software maker is working on. Today, the company scheduled January 21st as a key mark in the calendar, with press invitations having just been sent out to a special Windows 10 event slated for that date.

Windows 10 is set for release some time next year, and there are a number of features which Microsoft still hasn’t officially announced yet, with Cortana being one of them. A newly surfaced video shows us for the first time what Cortana will be capable of on Windows 10.

When Microsoft announced Windows 10 at a low-key event in San Francisco, not much was revealed on the consumer front. And now, it seems the software giant is planning to hold an event early next year, where it would reveal all there is regarding Windows 10 and the new exciting features that it would bring.

A few weeks back, we finally caught the details of Microsoft's next major version of Windows. Named Windows 10, it was almost immediately rolled out as a Technical Preview available to anybody looking to test out the pre-release software, and in the latest update, build 9879 has just been released.
