Microsoft has declared that Internet Explorer is no more. Sort of. So says Chris Capossela who is Microsoft’s marketing chief at Microsoft Convergence yesterday. The Verge has the details:
“We’re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10,” said Capossela. “We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser called Project Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing.”
You’ll notice in that statement Internet Explorer will continue to exist. That’s mostly for enterprise customers. But Project Spartan will be the main way users connect to the Internet and consume Internet content. I’m betting that the software giant will be looking to find ways to move those users over to Project Spartan too. We’ll see what the plan is when Windows 10 ships later this year.
