Microsoft Dumps Internet Explorer To Create New Browser; See Name Of The New One

After failure to shake off its negative reputation, Microsoft has revealed it will be doing away with the Internet Explorer band.

Microsoft has announced its successor: Project Spartan.

Speaking at Microsoft Convergence yesterday, Microsoft’s marketing chief Chris Capossela revealed that the company is currently working on a new name and brand.

“We’re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10,” said Capossela.
“We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser called Project Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing.”

Internet Explorer will still exist in some versions of Windows 10 mainly for enterprise compatibility, but the new Project Spartan will be named separately and will be the primary way for Windows 10 users to access the web.
