http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsof...and-windows-10 http://preview.tinyurl.com/l88lzph Saleem, the author, is about 1-1/2 months behind on his news but other articles are now just showing up about this. The author's suppositions regarding the cause for the name change are unsubstantiated (i.e., it's his opinion on why IE will become Spartan ... or whatever Microsoft decides for a new name by the release date for their web browser that uses a different layout engine). Microsoft discontinued using the Trident layout engine for IE and went to another rendering engine called the Spartan layout engine (which is a fork of Trident) which then got renamed to the EdgeHTML engine. As a consequence, Microsoft decided to also rename IE to Spartan. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_(layout_engine) (Spartan info added on 12-Feb-2015) Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan_(browser) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan...ndering_engine According to that wikipedia article, Microsoft made the name change announcement back on 21-Jan-2015. Also see: "Here's how to enable the Spartan Edge rendering engine for IE11 in Windows 10" http://www.windowscentral.com/enable...ng-engine-ie11 I don't think the web browser (client) name changes to Spartan. Instead it changes from Internet Explorer 11 to Internet Explorer 12. Microsoft might change the name (from its project name of "Spartan") to something else or they could just move forward with "Internet Explorer 12". There are few benchmarks on IE 12 to see if it has improved, like: http://www.winbuzzer.com/benchmark-d...la-firefox-36/ I can't see the pictures of the benchmarks but I can see the summary table at the end. The article admits that IE12 still doesn't support some HTML5 features but personally I feel it is over reaching of the other web browser to claim support for HTML5 when much of it has not yet ratified and that's not expected until 2018 although some say maybe not until 2022. There are some other IE12 benchmarks, like: http://www.windowscentral.com/sparta...lorer-11-bench Since the Spartan layout is a fork of Trident, I suppose there are some base schema or paradigms in Trident that cannot yet be completely divorced from in Spartan. |

How can one rage against the machine when the buggers remove the machine? J. Don't worry. Ragers, whiners and general purpose ranters normally find something to rage about. IE or no IE, same difference. |
