Microsoft, after a long time, about 20 years have decided to
drop the Internet Explorer. Since the release of the Windows 8 Operating
System, they have been trying to gain back the love of their customers. But I guess
the over 20 years of winning and struggling to retain users would probably be
coming to an end. Internet Explorer regarded by most as the slowest browser might
be taking a bow out as Microsoft recently announced Spartan as the browser for
Windows 10, which is their impending Operating System and also the next biggest
thing for Microsoft.
Spartan has got some features that the Internet Explorer has
not got which includes the fact that t is leaner, faster, and I also guess that
have not seen people using Internet Explorer on Mobile phones except for those
making use of Windows phone so I guess Microsoft also wants to get into the
mobile market with this because it was also for designed for mobile. It has got
close integration with Cortana, Microsoft’s voice – activated assistant, which
would bring users relevant information like flight delays without even having
to visit an airline’s website. Spartan’s has also got a note-taking mode which
turns the web into a canvas, letting users scribble notes on live websites and
send off them to friends, classmates, family and colleagues.
Since they are thinking of mobile, I guess we would be
getting the new browser on other Operating System platforms.
This is a great step for Microsoft considering the fact that
the Internet Explorer has been stigmatized. Carrying about the brand of being
slow, not responsive and so on. If they had continued with the name, I don’t
really thing they would have gained the heart of consumers has the name would
still have been “Internet Explorer”.
I guess we all can’t wait to get our hands on this new
browser so we can really say whether Microsoft has really change a whole lot.
Would like to get your response on this one guys, is this a
good one from Microsoft.
