Microsoft has announced that they are changing their initial plans for Internet Explorer by saying that Internet Explorer 11 will remain fundamentally unchanged from Windows 8.1 going forward

From Neowin:

When Windows 10 is released this summer, Spartan, the browser the company is currently building, will be the default way to browse the web. This browser uses a modified version of the Trident engine that currently powers Internet Explorer 11. But because it has been heavily modified and been re-built for the modern web, it feels like an entirely new engine.

The company has announced today that going forward, Internet Explorer 11 will not be using this new engine; it will only be for Spartan. This is a big shift for the company as it effectively means that IE will only be used for legacy applications, while Spartan is the path forward.

M$ should release these browsers and other software and allow people to use them if they want to, not to be forced to.

I'm hardly interested in Spartan for desktop, but if it makes a decent browser on the phone, I might consider it.
