What do you expect of MS's Spartan browser?

[_] Better than Chrome, FireFox
[_] On par with Chrome, FireFox
[_] Worse than Chome and FF, but better than Opera
[_] Just a reskinned IE
[_] NSA spying backdoors and keylogger
[_] Shitty security

Well I expect that microsoft is getting their shit together on ditching IE finally.

Making it probably on par with their other software which is good so...

I say shitty on security and add-ons only because that's expected of any fresh software. And I'd have to use it to decide on how much bing is too much with it.

I don't know about any of those, but if it's going to be like any of the other Metro apps, it's going to have retardedly huge buttons and next to no features.

I've been using it on my Win 10 partition for the past two weeks (about:flags trick) and it's ungodly fast and lightweight.

Holy shit, Chrome is actually in trouble for speed. Le epic meme browser actually did git gud.
>>
>>46848251
definitely better than ffox which is particularly difficult as far as performance is concerned and as fast as chrome but way more efficient.

it's probably nothing like IE(haven't used yet)

since m$ actually kinda respects one's privacy given's past record I would see it's gonna be less of a botnet than chrome

security will be top notch I assume(64 bit, sandbox, tied to the OS)

i'll switch right away providing my favoritue ffox addons are either ported or replacements are available.

I have it from an inside source that this browser will be VERY secure, like its security will blow firefox and chrome out of the water, you haven't seen nothing till you see what kind of special algorithms and defenses this browser is packing. It actively scans all your downloads for malware and culls them as you browse, it can point out potential hazards with trusted databases, even prevent XSS and scan scripts running on he page for dangerous things.

All of this phones home to MS, but they really haven't done anything with that data yet, its not like they serve you ads all the time like google does.

I really think it will be a great thing, especially for the "I dont know how to computer" crowd.

Bing is bad?

Have you tried searching for porn on that thing? Bing is the future man.

Because all those Halo kids are grown up now and probably buying their own computers.

Professionals don't give a shit about names (there are companies who have no problem with running an operating system called "Ubuntu").
Casuals feel smart when they get a reference and they like things that make them feel smart.
>>
>>46848557
halo is more or less the flagship/mascot of microsoft.
>>
>>46849053
I will concede, Bing is the best platform for finding porn.
>>
>>46848557
Windows 10 was codenamed Threshold, which is a planet from Halo. It gives all their project unified code language. Basing it on a popular IP they own and develop is way more intuitive than fucking candy and desserts or national parks in California.

Microsoft certainly understands its audience's wants and needs.

>>46849154
Too limited a choice I would think.
>>
>>46849172
There's Seven Second and Seven Third. They should start with third, and eventually make their way to the original seven summits.

Even IE 11 is ridicously fast on 8.1, much faster than Firefox or Chrome, so I'd fucking expect Spartan to be at least as fast as it is right now.

Hopefully. Actually it probably will. IE is already pretty decent.

They were only selling 8.1, that mouse and some other posters and crap. Besides they were also on the top floor with the other sponsor booths and they don't have porn there, at least not on the surface. Plenty of ecchi though.

I didn't see any doujins of OS-tans but it's a very large event and it's hard to see everything.
>>
Horrible name for a browser.

>>46849989
Also I would have bought that touch mouse if the same thing wasn't sold over here for $40, christ.

it uses the same engines (trident,chakra), so it will obviously have the same flaws. Like extra CSS for IE, poor support of newest standards, and all the security bugs...

Ditching the IE name is just a marketting ploy.
>[X] NSA spying backdoors and keylogger
What doesn't have this?
>[X] Shitty security
IE will always be shit security because it's used by old tech illiterates, so everything is specifically made to get around it. Also, >Microsoft in charge of security
>[X] Shitty add-ons
Credit due, in my experience, Firefox is the ONLY thing that actually has good addons.

~Marketting~

Do you not know that MS downloads one's browser history for analyzes?
