So we hope you can join us for a minute’s silence, after Microsoft announced that they’ll soon be doing away with the iconic browser in favour of a newer version, which is currently codenamed Project Spartan.

Frustrated users have previously slammed the browser for being slow and bug-prone, and Microsoft once talked of changing the name of the browser to address “negative perceptions that no longer reflect reality.”

Speaking yesterday, Microsoft’s marketing chief Chris Capossella said, “We’re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10.

“We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing.”

Microsoft also revealed yesterday that users were more likely to favour services with the company’s name in front of them, meaning that the new browser is likely to adhere to this format.

Although it’s not clear when the browser’s new name will be revealed, it will form part of the much anticipated Windows 10, which will launch later this year.

U no too well sir..

its about time

no matter hw much changes they make to that internet explorer, that 'not good enough' reputation has stick to it. The right move is create a new browser or even repackage IE and change its name

Just give us a browser that would ease web programming..

In other news, Vote Buhari for a better Nigeria.

Hope it will not be a case of 'contents still the same'

Team chrome and torch.

Microsoft should stop behaving like APC

What is the need of rebranding Buhari and having amaechi teaching him what to say and what not to the press when there are better option?

Just like APC, they will leave the content and change the name

Nice idea.
Change is good, you update from outdated stuff to new stuff.
That is what Nigeria are also trying to do.(change)
Change is inevitable.

Microsoft should change the entire piece of sh1t called Internet Explorer. We in March 2015 I'm pretty sure the browser is still in 2014. Between Internet Explorer and Mikel Obi Who Slow Pass.
