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.

    Obviously troll comment but of course Windows 10 _IS_ the next version after Windows 8.

    And Windows 8 isn't shit.

    Let's see how that work.

    Windows 95: Shit (let's start with this one.)
    Windows 98: Good.
    Windows 98 SE: Shit.
    Windows ME: Good.
    Maybe I should stop here really?
    Windows XP: Shit.
    Windows Vista: Good.
    Windows 7: Shit.
    Windows 8: Good.

    Hum, let's throw it around.

    Good: Win 95, 98 SE, XP, 7.
    Bad: Win 98, ME, Vista, 8

    You know what? Maybe people actually agree on that one.
    It would also mean Win 10 is good no matter whatever you like it or not.

    Let's try NT:

    NT 4
    Win 2k
    Win 2k3
    Win Vista
    Win 7
    Win 8
    Win 10

    Is 4, 2k3, 7 and 10 the good ones here?
    Or 2k, Vista, 8?

    Guess the former.

    Personally I kinda assume later versions are better than earlier.

    "We live in the best of worlds!" ... and use the best of Microsoft OSes?
