Spartan is Microsoft's new web browser for Windows 10 that aims to challenge Google Chrome. It has a new rendering engine called EdgeHTML that provides improved performance. Spartan features built-in note taking, Cortana integration for voice search, and reading mode for distraction-free reading. Benchmarks show Spartan's rendering engine offers better JavaScript performance than Internet Explorer 11 and uses graphics APIs more efficiently than Chrome and Firefox. Spartan could succeed if it addresses flaws from Internet Explorer, but its future success remains to be seen.

4. Introduction
• Powered by a new rendering engine, Spartan
is designed for interoperability with the
modern web.
• Microsoft has deliberately moved away from
the versioned document modes historically
used in Internet Explorer, and now use the
same markup as other modern browsers.
• Spartan's new rendering engine is designed to
work with the way the web is written today.

5. Development
• In December 2014, writing for ZDNet, technology
writer Mary Jo Foley reported that Microsoft was
developing a new web browser codenamed "Spartan"
for Windows 10 She claimed that "Spartan" would be
treated as a new product separate from Internet Explorer,
with Internet Explorer 11 retained alongside it for
compatibility reasons.
• In early-January 2015, The Verge obtained further details
surrounding "Spartan" from sources close to Microsoft,
including reports that it would replace Internet Explorer
on both the desktop and mobile versions of Windows
10. Microsoft officially unveiled "Spartan" during a
Windows 10-focused keynote on January 21, 2015.

6. Features
• Rendering Engine: Which helps to navigation easy and cope
up with other browsers.
• Cortona: Which is used for voice search in a browser

7. Spartan rendering engine
• Spartan rendering engine (also known as EdgeHTML) is the
name of the layout engine for the Spartan browser, and is a
fork of Trident
• The rendering engine was released as an experimental option
in the Windows 10 Preview 9926 build.
• A review of the engine in the latest Windows 10 build
by Anand Tech found substantial benchmark improvements
over Trident

8. Cortana
• Microsoft Cortana is an intelligent personal assistant developed
by Microsoft for Windows Phone 8.1, Microsoft Band, and
Windows 10.
• It is named after Cortana, an artificial intelligence
• Cortana was demonstrated for the first time at the Microsoft Build
Developer Conference (April 2–4, 2014) in San Francisco. It has
been launched as a key ingredient of Microsoft's planned
"makeover" of the future operating systems for Windows Phone
and Windows.
• As of 2015, Cortana is available as a beta to all users of Windows
Phone 8.1 in the United States (US English), China (Mandarin
Chinese), and the United Kingdom (UK English). Users in certain
countries can also choose to opt-in to the alpha for the English,
French, German, Italian, and Spanish versions of Cortana as of
August 2014.
• Microsoft released Cortana globally in early 2015.

9. Features of cortana
• Set reminders
• Recognize natural voice without the user
having to input a predefined series of
commands
• Answer questions using information from Bing
• It can also roll a dice and flip a coin by
commands

10. Performance
• Different Benchmarks show that "Spartan´s" EdgeHTML
engine offers drastically improved JavaScript performance in
comparison to Trident 7 from Internet Explorer 11 and that it
uses the WebGL API for 2D and 3D graphics more efficiently
than Google Chrome 41 and Mozilla Firefox 36.

12. Spartans Challenge to Google Chrome
• Spartan is based on a fork of Microsoft’s Trident rendering
engine, which is also found in Internet Explorer.
• The browser allows you to collaborate with others by
marking up with drawing on the page directly. You’ll also be
able to click anywhere on the page and comment.
• The browser features a reading mode that automatically
downloads articles for offline reading later, which is useful
if you’re catching a flight without internet access.
• Cortana is coming to the browser too, and can learn from
your habits and give you details about specific things that it
thinks relevant, just like Google Now does on Android.

21. conclusion
• A lot of people are already applauding Microsoft’s efforts without
Spartan without having used it yet. It’s going to take more than a
pretty browser that looks like it’ll correct most of the issues with
IE to get consumers to give it a real shot. Spartan could be MS’S
browsing triumph, only if they’ve learned and corrected the flaws
from Internet Explorer from the last 20 years.
