It is fake:

Spartan is not IE 12, IE is dead according to well known reporters like MJF, Thurrott, and Brad. The first lines in the article are bait, hook line and sinker. The "no it will not" parts.

The first line of that article is saying that there where rumors that Spartan would be, while there where also rumors that it wouldn't be. Currently, there is no one who has said that Spartan won't be Internet Explorer. MJF and Thurrott, for example, still haven't confirmed if that is the case or not. We simply don't know. It could be Internet Explorer 12.

At this point, I think it best that Microsoft consider IE legacy software at this point, and let Spartan take over. Even though IE 9+ brought the browser "back" (at least for me), there's still people out there who won't touch it because of the name alone. It's not as "hip" as Chrome (or Firefox). Windows needs a new browser for sure.

NO!!!!

 

consumers, and others such as tech enthusiasts and those in IT will be confused on how to explore the internet in windows 10, just like how they were confused on how to navigate windows 8 without a start menu.

It would likely be better in some ways if Microsoft were to retire the Internet Explorer brand and start with something fresh, considering how tarnished it's reputation has become over the years.

Is there a "/s" missing from this, or am I reading it wrong? :huh:

he is just preparing you for Jan 21st for all those "METRO SUCKS, WINDOWS 7 FOR LIFE " posts.

I don't think that will happen.

 

There is already a rash of it on this very site, people whining that their power user status is undermined by the merely existence of metro applications.

I've been an Insider since the start, is there a direct link to the correct ISO?

There should be a link for the correct ISO (currently, 9879) on the "Setup another PC" page.

I wouldn't bother with installing build 9879 at this point, we're 3 days away from the event and probably a new build then or the day after (22nd). We all know 9879 isn't that good, buggy and so on. I'd rather wait for 9920 or whatever they give us.

Screenshots are fake...

 

I personally post whatever I found. So please don't mind. LOL!! I just try to find information and share. I don't post from UNDERSTOOD fake sites but where I think info can be trusted like this GSMArena.

I already installed it. Main reason was I wanted to try to upgrade directly to the next released build from 9979, whether it's through Windows Update or another way, as a means to test it, since it didn't work for me at all in Build 9941.

I don't think that will happen.

 I agree. It will be minimal by comparison. People think there will be a lot because they refuse to accept the anti-Metro (Windows 8 RTM version) had valid gripes, and valid need to keep the Start menu. Since MS has been addressing most if not all of the issues since 8 RTM, I think the overwhelming majority will accept and even embrace Windows 10.

I hope you are right because having a "back" on every app screen will be really retarded after many years of back button. I hate those back buttons at the top of screens in iOS.

And WinRT can already handle both hardware and on-screen back buttons, so there is no reason to implement in-app UI back buttons.

It's something users ask for though, they could add it as a option and let whoever wants to use it use it. Another requested feature is for the start screen on phone to support landscape, it should in 10 I bet. Specially since it should be the same OS on tablets as well.

    • Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.
