Windows 10: Windows 10's Spartan Browser Not Planned for Windows 7...

Source

:)

 

Will Windows 10 have Internet Explorer?

IE is still included in windows 10 BUT it is being retired and replaced with project spartan. Spartan is set to be the default browser in win 10 and it can import all of IE's favs bookmarks, etc.

I suspect there will be some gowning pains in getting used to Spartan.

 

windows 10

I have one more question is the new browser in windows 10 Spartan or edge ..one microsoft agent said Spartan and the other said edge so im confused

 

Source I also hope the text highlighted in red does not mean that you will have to log in to your M$ Account to be able to use certain features of the Sparten browser.

 

I think it means that you will not see it on Android or other platforms.

 

I think it means that you will not see it on Android or other platforms. Yep. Article title:
Windows 10's Spartan Browser Not Planned for Windows 7, Mac or Linux

It's a little confusing to word it as "those who are not Microsoft customers won't get it on their devices." because a) you can be a microsoft customer and STILL not get Spartan on your iPhone and b) Not since 2003 did Microsoft have their browser on a different OS, so it's kind of odd to expect that to be an option.

 

I tried it on my own I.E. in Windows 10 this morning and honestly, it's not faster than my Firefox, tuned for optimum performance.

Oh well, another MS disappointment. I'll file that one along with Windows ME.

*Cool

 

*slow blink*

There are many things that are off about that statement. I'll begin by first noting that Spartan is NOT currently available except internally at Microsoft and hasn't even been leaked yet.

 

Yet another wonderful piece of what passes for "journalism" from Softpedia... those guys are complete idiots.

As if it's news that the new Modern Application browser (which requires WinRT) won't be available for Windows 7 (or any other OS without WinRT). What's next, breaking news that Continuum won't be available for Windows 7 either? Oh wait, let me guess... Breaking news, Windows 10 won't run on XP *Rolleyes

I really wish you guys would stop reposting this garbage. Softpedia is a horrible "news" source. They never "break" any news, and they always get it either wrong, or twist it out of proportion. Or they sensationalize common knowledge.

 

I guess Cortana would need it.

I take it as a try for a joke, because I hope you are not serious...*Wink

 

Going on past versions, Windows 7 was never going to get Internet Explorer 12 anyway. It's already had four versions of Internet Explorer as it is (IE 8 - 11).

Internet Explorer versions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Actually win-7 was never supposed to get ie10 or 11 but as we have all seen Microsoft often changes it's mind *Wink

I believe the only difference in Spartan will be Cortana will be added on the top of it so those with microphones will be able to access Cortana and those that don't can with I suppose Ctrl+F or Ctrl+S ?

 

please IE teams: make the address line scalable!!!
please IE team, giving me ways to block/toggle resource-hogging media/etc content!!
please IE team, give me a way to toggle REAL privacy/security!

the shame of it here is that latest iterations of IE are actually quite fast and efficient except for the above nuisances!

does anyone use Bing???? hated. Bing Desktop is downright dangerous.... reco remove from everything I see

 

Spartan on Windows 7? Microsoft is 'watching demand'

I think not. According to my knowledge, IE spartan will be released for Windows 10 only. Maybe after a long time they may release IE spartan for Android.
