Microsoft Spartan and the Future for Internet Explorer

General Web Dev

I listened to an interesting conversation with one of the Microsoft team responsible for the Spartan project: http://5by5.tv/webahead/94

Two things in particular were pleasing to me:

  1. The new browser (whatever it gets called) will be “evergreen” (meaning that it will update incrementally in the background like Chrome)
  2. IE11 on Windows 10 will include two rendering engines—the old one and the new one found in the new browser. So there’s some chance IE11 won’t become the IE6/8 of the future.
