So we hope you can join us for a minute’s
silence, after Microsoft announced that they’ll
soon be doing away with the iconic browser
in favour of a newer version, which is
currently codenamed Project Spartan.
Frustrated users have previously slammed the
browser for being slow and bug-prone, and
Microsoft once talked of changing the name
of the browser to address “negative
perceptions that no longer reflect reality.”
Speaking yesterday, Microsoft’s marketing
chief Chris Capossella said, “We’re now
researching what the new brand, or the new
name, for our browser should be in Windows
10.
“We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but
we’ll also have a new browser, which is
codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name
the thing.”
Microsoft also revealed yesterday that users
were more likely to favour services with the
company’s name in front of them, meaning
that the new browser is likely to adhere to
this format.
Although it’s not clear when the browser’s
new name will be revealed, it will form part
of the much anticipated Windows 10, which
will launch later this year.
