Microsoft Rolls Out Project Spartan With New Windows 10 Build

Posted by Soulskill on from the this!-is!-spar!-tan! dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Today Microsoft released a new Technical Preview build for Windows 10. Its most notable addition is Microsoft's new browser: Project Spartan. In a brief post explaining the basics of the browser, the company says it includes their personal assistant software, Cortana, as well as "inking" support, which lets you write or type on the webpage you're viewing. But the biggest change, of course is the new rendering engine. The "suggestion box" page for Project Spartan is already filling up with idea from users, including one for Trident/EdgeHTML to be released as open source.

    Approximately every other version of windows is shit. XP (good), Vista (shit), Win7 (good), Win8 (shit).

    Windows 10? No thanks, I'll wait for Windows 9, the good version they skipped.

      I'm waiting for Windows 11. Most OSes only go up to 10, but Windows will go up to 11.

      Well if you *really* want it, Windows 9 is available in that alternate universe where Justin Timberlake never left NSYNC. But no fucking way am I going there to get it.
