Project Spartan: We get our claws on Microsoft's browser for Windows 10

Indeed, if you want another browser than IE, use another browser than IE, why do we want another MS browser?

I can see why MS might want another browser - they need to lock out Googley extensions which undermine their desktop monopoly, but I see no user benefit. Come on, MS, tell us why we'll want your browser. Don't give me "performance" because I don't buy that. I really don't remember the last time I thought, wow, this page isn't displaying fast enough! Don't give me "standards" - I already have Chrome and FF which get close enough. Security? That isn't a benefit, that's an assumed feature. Integration with the OS? No thanks, you already did that and it was horrible. Tell me why you expect me to switch! At the moment, Spartan looks like Windows Mobile. It might be a fine system when it finally gets here, but everyone has moved on and no longer cares.
