The Windows team is claiming they "converted" Spartan to this and Spartan was just a code name, but the original Spartan was a cleaned up IE and this is ..... not. People are asking where MS bought it from, but right now I agree with the reviewers ....
.... who cares? It is fast and light and it does not slow down and choke over memory usage (it turns the memory back loose very quickly).
It is good stuff and it will make Google get better real fast (or get replaced real fast).
If they can blend it in with Cortana seamlessly and make the pair of them work better than "OK GOOGLE", then they will have a winner on their hands.
Why is Edge so fast?
http://siliconangle.com/blog/2015/05/25/3-reasons-why-microsofts-edge-browser...Reading this says that EDGE hauls ass on those items that do not contain ANY legacy calls to old poky softwares (like flash and java). EDGE simply doesn't work with old stuff -- it ignores all those calls and either doesn't show it or stops cold and tells you all about your moldy web sites.
This new EDGE browser signals a need for all web sites to be updated to HTML2 standards, and to drop all the old moldy IE specific stuff contained in most old sites. Edge spells end of use for Flash and Java .... bye boys.
Google Chrome has some memory and speed hang ups that are based on their own older AI based search functions -- this time around Google will be the respondent to a real MS challenge.
Both Google Chrome and Firefox are currently burdened with old IE compatibility fixes that MS itself has flat-arsed dropped off now, smoking and steaming copious brown vapors right on down onto the cold cold concrete -- plop !!!
And we love it !!!!We all know Google does their very best work (quickest work too) once somebody really pisses them off good with a real hard hitting challenge. And EDGE is a strong challenge aimed right at Google's jugular vein.
Go MS Go !!!! Go piss off 'ol SwitzerGoogle some and let's see this bulky green dude come back out again !!!!
Watch out there, Bruce Google Banner --- that snicky quick MS EDGE stuff could indeed be the basis of a REAL MICROSOFT CHROMEKILLER using the not yet released Win 10 Mobile for the lighter faster OS handle portion and EDGE as the knife portion of the spear.
Go get your green on, Bruce --- Hulk Go Smash Stupid MS Browser --- go get 'em Hulk boy
