Hi Chuck,

I think they are just renaming it to Spartan. I could be wrong.

A quote from

http://tinyurl.com/mw2tjom

claimning to quote Microsoftÿs marketing chief Chris Capossela:

´Weÿre now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our
browser should be in Windows 10,¡ Capossela said. "Weÿll continue to
have Internet Explorer, but weÿll also have a new browser called Project
Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing."

Alongside Project Spartan, Microsoft will also release Internet Explorer
11 as a legacy option primarily for enterprises with applications and
internal sites designed for Microsoftÿs longtime browser."

See replies to the "No more Internet Explorer" thread in this newsgroup
(and replies to your multi-posted submission in the Win7 newsgroup).

The author didn't do the research.

Apparently you chose that as your signature. Then put it in a signature
block (after the sigdash delimiter line). If your choice of newsreader
does not automatically prepend "-- \n" (dash dash space newline) to your
signature then you'll have to include it in your signature string.

I had wondered if the slogan and the multi-posting were intentional.

Maybe it's just my paranoia doing its job :-)

Besides, what good is free source to Chuck? He and others to which he
proselytizes will still have to compile it for their OS platform of
choice. If free source was all that was available for a program, only
some programmers would use it. For the vast majority of other users,
these programmers would then have to distribute their compiled copies.
The majority of users couldn't give a gnat's fart about the free source.
They want the freeware at which point only a small percentage care if
the product originate from open or closed source.

You did something I didn't do - you considered the meaning of Chuck's
slogan.

I tend to put slogans (anyone's) into my write-only memory without
thinking much about them.

As a result, your analysis was informative to me. Thanks.
