Project Spartan, new web browser for Windows 10

A number of recent reports
<http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/29/7460961/microsoft-working-on-brand-new-web-browser-windows-10>
 have suggested that Microsoft was ready to move past Internet Explorer and
introduce a new browser, code-named Spartan, to the world. Now, Microsoft
has made that official by announcing that Project Spartan will be the new
web browsing experience for Windows 10. The new browser will feature an
all-new rendering engine, but beyond that Microsoft wanted to focus on
three new features, some of which we learned about earlier this year.

Chief among those new features is new inking support that lets users
annotate web pages and sync all of those notes to OneDrive and share them
with collaborators — a service that makes a ton of sense given
Microsoft's focus

 lineup. Microsoft demonstrated this feature heavily in its demo (even
mocking up a *Verge *article about Project Spartan's new features). Beyond
pen-like note-taking features, you can also click anywhere on a page and
add comments and annotations, much like in Office documents.
