It has been years since I have browsed the web on Internet Explorer, and I am sure that that is the same for many people around the world. Ever since the appearance of other internet browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox the sole role of Internet Explorer for many computer owners is just to download the installation file for their browser of preference (at least that is what I use it for). However, there has been discussion of a new web browsing software that will be released with the Windows 10 operating system. The web browsing platform's current project name is called Spartan, and it is probably going to have a similar color scheme and look as the newer Windows operating systems (Windows 8 and soon to be Windows 10). The browser might bring about the return of Microsoft in the web browsing industry.

I think that it is pretty awesome the Microsoft is going to put more effort into developing its web browsing software. For me, I have always preferred Google Chrome over Microsoft's Internet Explorer because of two reasons: one being that Google Chrome is more efficient and uses less resources on your computer and two being that Google Chrome has a better interface and it runs smoother. I think that a solid internet browser developed by Microsoft has a lot of potential to become the best way to browse the web. Because Microsoft creates the operating system in which most computers run on they would be able to coordinate the web browsing software better with how the operating system works. They could also use the connections between the operating system and the web browser to help keep internet browsing safe (I don't know the specifics on how they would actually do this but I do know that they have a greater ability to protect your computer than a third party company such as Google does). I also think that it is pretty awesome that they are going to make it have a similar layout to that of the Windows operating system. To the average eye this may not seem like a big deal, but it helps the user experience be more smooth and simple. It is like making a power point presentation with one font versus one with multiple different fonts. The presentation with one, uniform font is more professional and appealing to the eye.
Overall I think that it is pretty awesome that Microsoft is going to release a better, updated web browsing platform with its new operating system. I think that the web browsing platform has a lot of potential and could bring Microsoft back into the web browsing business. I can't wait for the Windows 10 operating system so I can see the cool things that Microsoft will do to make the user experience better.
