Microsoft may release a preview of Project Spartan soon

While the tech world has been focused on Windows 10, little has been revealed about Project Spartan. Aside from a few vague descriptions and leaked screenshots, Microsoft has told us nothing about its new web browser aside from the fact that it will be more like Google Chrome than Internet Explorer. Now we may finally be getting a real look at the browser as it appears that Microsoft will include a test version in the next Windows 10 preview. 

Microsoft is planning to let Windows 10 testers experiment with its brand new Internet Explorer replacement, Project Spartan, very soon. While Microsoft first demonstrated the new browser at its Windows 10 event in January, testers have been waiting eagerly to try Project Spartan. Microsoft’s technical lead for Windows universal apps, Kevin Gallo, confirmed at Mobile World congress today that the company will release a test version of the browser in the next Windows 10 preview. It’s not clear exactly when that will be available, but sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that it should arrive by the end of March, and likely a lot sooner. Microsoft briefly demonstrated Project Spartan on Windows 10 for phones during a press event earlier today at Mobile World Congress. The browser looks similar to the desktop counterpart, and it’s reasonable to assume both the phone and desktop versions of the next Windows 10 preview will feature Spartan.
