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

no surprise as Spartan is replacement for metro IE no metro in windows 7 so no spartan

 

MS might just offer Spartan for Win7 if there is enough demand.

 

MS might just offer Spartan for Win7 if there is enough demand. If there is enough demand then they are clearly not doing a good enough job pushing people to Windows 10...

sorry.... I took the detour to "privacy features" which is a lot bigger [LOT] than browserology.
btw - will new IE have sync'ing?

on android and IOS I much prefer Dolphin. its probably the fastest, most stable, and most customizable browser I've used. smartly, they don't want to fool with a fast shrinking PC market.
I Like IE for youtube, of all things, because it is demonstrably more efficient with youtube. that said, it is probably not true on desktops with dedicated vid cards [good ones, that is..]. Chrome is awful of late, efficiency-wise, but what its good at is speed among a lot of open tabs as long as vids are stopped [flash objects "click to play".... would be a nice feature for IE-n]
its also quick to coherency - browsers in general these days try to trick the appearance of being "fast to start" but it ain't so. FFox's latest is a long wait - take a bathroom break. Chrome is legit fast on the first search or address input.
opera is too slow to matter - that is from a dead start, and apparently no one there is ever going to fix the awful bookmarks management - dreadful.
in the past I hated IE ["internet exploder"] and counseled all my dependencies to avoid - but those days are past for me. no hate. good for some tasks.

 

All true but: You could say that Windows 7 will eventually get Spartan because all Windows 7 users will be able to update for free to Windows 10 which will get spartan... *Wink

 

yes but they only got a year to upgrade *Wink

 

I don't think MS will make Spartan available for Windows 7. MS is trying their best to get Windows 7 users to upgrade to 10.

 

yes but they only got a year to upgrade *Wink only a year !we only one need 1 day to do it

 

yes but they only got a year to upgrade *Wink only a year !we only one need 1 day to do it I bet the servers might get overloaded in the first few days.. but I'll try later in the night to get my copy!!

I just like using the start menu.. I have for some time and the new one works fine, is organized the way I want it and it looks nice at the same time. It would be nice to be able to select from different versions of the start menu when you set up Win10 and later on in the settings. I would like to see: Win7 look, Win10 and something else.

I wonder if they can properly distinguish between OEM SLIC licenses of Windows 7 and *ahem* a relatively popular and highly reliable circumvention that installs a fake SLIC as a driver...
