Microsoft announced last night that the company has made the first public test release of Windows 10, where also a early version of Microsoft’s new browser is included. As is known is called the preliminary Project Spartan, but this should not be the final name.
The new Windows 10 version has build number 10049 and can be downloaded in the same way as previous test versions. It requires, however, that they have chosen frequent updates of the operating system. The news in this edition consists otherwise mostly of bug fixes. More details can be found here.
Project Spartan
The new browser to Microsoft’s new in most ways. It has a new user interface where it provides more space for the actual content than in Internet Explorer. Browsers should also make it easy to discover, read and share content.
Browser Engines: Microsoft has changed his mind
During the shell Project Spartan has the new browser engine Edge Html, already brings with it support for far more web technologies than supported by Internet Explorer, while that part old yoke has been evicted. This is Microsoft’s browser for the future, and it should be updated frequently so that it no longer will always be such that it is Microsoft who “comes last to hour” with support for new web technologies. It may lead to new web technology can be deployed faster than has been the case until now.
In this latest version, Microsoft has put in place support for & lt; img srcset & gt; attribute for responsive images.

New functionality
Project Spartan will offer both A reading mode, Reading View, and Reading List, a new feature to collect everything you want to read, and possibly save the Web page or PDF document locally for offline reading.
In the browser should users could also write notes directly on the sides, a functionality that is called “inking”. These notes can then be shared with others via email or social media. They can also be saved to OneNote.
Microsoft’s personal digital assistant, Cortana, is also integrated in Project Spartan. According to Microsoft, the could contribute to easier web surfing, by providing help at the right times. It’s been some years since Clippy would do the same in Office, so there is reason to hope that Cortana is more helpful than distracting.
Currently, Cortana only available in the US edition of Windows 10 Technical Preview .

Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer should also follow the release version of Windows 10. Currently, support both the Trident engine and Edge .html, however, support for EdgeHMTL will eventually be removed. The idea is that Internet Explorer will be used only in connection with old websolutions not supported by other browsers.
Project Spartan will most likely only be available in Windows 10. This means that in the future, users of older Windows editions had to use a browser from a supplier other than Microsoft to make sure that newer sites and web applications work. PCs with Windows 7 or later will in many cases free could be upgraded to Windows 10, but it’s not all that can or want to do this.
