Microsoft released the first version of Internet Explorer, which was considered a premium paid add-on to Windows 95 in 1995. With the release of Windows 10, Microosoft has officially ended the Internet Explorer and replaced it with Microsoft Spartan.
Spartan provides a more dependable, and discoverable experience with forward thinking features including the ability to annotate on web pages, a distraction-free reading experience like the reader mode on Apple's Safari browser, and integration of Cortana for finding and doing tasks online quicker.
A new rendering engine powers Spartan that Windows 10 already has built into the operating system. It is designed to implement a dual-engine approach, where it can intelligently switch between the new modern rendering engine and Trident; the older IE engine.
In terms of design and development, Spartan will allow designers and developers to collaborate together on a whole new level. This will be through the ability to annotate and share web pages with others. This feature can work old school with a mouse and keyboard, or on a Microsoft surface tablet where a user can use their finger or stylus to markup a web page.
Furthermore, Microsoft is finally ready to play nicely with what were once unknown experimental CSS, HTML, and debugging techniques and languages. For instance CSS3 transform preserve-3D support, CSS interaction media queries that permit different styles contingent on whether the page is controlled using touch or mouse, F12 Developer Tool updates incorporating an innovative network analyzer, source map support, asynchronous call stacks, improved search, and HTML and CSS pretty printing.
In light of the hype around Windows 10 and Spartan Browser, Microsoft has launched rethinkie.com to showcase how Microsoft has spent the past couple of years building web projects to show off the power of the modern web. The idea is that with the right code, the line between offline and online application is quickly blurred as modern web standards allow extraordinary applications to be fashioned and executed from within the web browser.
