New Delhi: Microsoft has finally made live its anticipated Spartan Web browser for the preview version of its upcoming Windows 10 OS. The browser is set to replace the age-old Internet Explorer Web browser with its enhanced features and built-in voice assistant, Cortana.
Project Spartan will be made available across the Windows 10 devices and include interesting features like the ability to write or type on a webpage apart from making sharing, reading, discovery easier for the users.
The Windows blog noted that the brand new Web browser has a new design that puts focus on the page and not the browser. It further includes Microsoft's Cortana assistant to help make searches and browsing easier. Cortana in Spartan will be available in the US versions of the build and extend gradually later.
It also has the new inking capabilities that lets you write or type directly on the page, comment on what's interesting or clip what you want and share the 'Web Note' via mail or a social network.
Spartan also offers clutter-free reading with its Reading List that collects all readings that interest you for easy access later and a Reading View that cleans up unnecessary images or design elements from the page to let you focus just on the content.
While the new OS Windows 10 with Spartan is yet to have a consumer rollout, Microsoft has been considerate towards the enterprise customers by allowing them to continue their usage of Internet Explorer 11 browser which is supported on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. They will be able to make it their default browser via group policy.
The Spartan Web browser is not the polished version that will land in the hands of the consumers when it is released with the upcoming OS as Microsoft is still tweaking it based on the previewers' feedback to iron out any issues.
