Windows 10 will abandon the long-criticized Internet Explorer web browser, replacing it with a new “Project Spartan” brand, Microsoft has confirmed.

Microsoft's marketing chief confirmed at the company's ‘Convergence’ conference in Atlanta on Monday that Internet Explorer, the major old web browser brand, will only be used in enterprise compatibility with the new Windows 10, which will be offering a new way of browsing the internet, The Verge reported.

“We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser called Project Spartan. We have to name the thing,” Chris Capossela said.

Microsoft's new web browser, for the moment being called “Project Spartan”, is currently being developed. Though it’s not available yet, it is said to have rejected the legacy of the IE code, thus becoming easier and faster in operation, with the best Javascript performance, according to some leaks.

The project is likely to have a final name with the word “Microsoft” in it, because market research on Google Chrome users showed that people find it appealing. It is expected to be introduced alongside with Windows 10 at the end of this year.

Internet Explorer has had a long history, doomed by a negative image, mocked by thousands of people on social media, as it failed to compete with rival Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers.

It seems MS is skipping making a Windows 9 and jumping to 10. Anybody know why? Am guessing it's partly because people are unhappy with 8, but no hypothesis seems to add up, and wicked pedia doesn't seem to offer any explanation in their article on 10. It does make this startling announcement: "upgrades to Windows 10 will be offered at no charge for consumer users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, including those using non- genuine copies."

What are opinions on 8 here? I got a computer with 7 on it just as 8 was being introduced because an OS at the end of its lifetime has spent years being fixed and debugged. So I have no experience of 8 at all. I thought I hated 7 and felt loyal to XP as did others I've talked to, but 7's been great and using an XP machine now feels like a trip back to 1642 AD.

Win 8 is very different from Win 7. It's designed more for tablets than PC's. It is remarkable that MS is willing to upgrade "non-genuine copies". Does that mean Win 10 will be subscription based? I'm guessing they will try to make it hack proof somehow, maybe by handshaking with MS's central server in order to run....

If so, maybe MS will succeed in alienating people enough to push a sufficient market share on to Linux.
