hey what's going on guys mark and Sangan here from TechnoBuffalo and today we're gonna take our first look at Microsoft's new web browser project Spartan now a few months back we actually did a video on Windows 10 and show you most of the new stuff that's gonna be included in Microsoft's newest OS now project Spartan unfortunately wasn't one of them but the latest build of Windows 10 now includes project Spartan so let's go ahead and see what it's all about so the first thing we notice about project Spartan is how basic and minimalistic it looks you can access your favorites your reading view reading lists inking and sending feedback to Microsoft now performance at the moment is a bit sluggish but then again this is an early build so a lot of what you're seeing right now is probably gonna get a lot better one of the new features in project Spartan is the ability to enable a new mode called reading view now this mode essentially strips down a page and provides you with a distraction-free environment unfortunately not every page is gonna work but you know what sites working TechnoBuffalo yep you can read some tips and tricks on the galaxy s6 right now and a ton more katana is also available inside project Spartan and the cool thing about Crotona is if for example you're looking at a restaurant online katana can give you more details about the restaurant by giving you directions hours and you can even book a table by using open table unfortunately there's not a whole lot of sites and restaurants that Crotona will have access to but hopefully in the future we'll see more so probably the coolest feature in project Spartan is the ability to annotate websites now annotating or inking allows you to write or type directly on the page you're looking at you can say the annotated site in your favorites reading list one note or send it off to a friend if you'd like but is right now it's a bit buggy saving web notes but hopefully in the future build this bug will be fixed it's a really fun tool and I think this will change the way we share sites to friends and family so the other features that we notice in project Spartan was the ability to quickly check the weather by typing in weather inside the address bar and Microsoft also mentioned a new rendering engine built inside project Spartan to load pages quicker though we haven't really noticed a difference in that area just yet so of course with a name like project Spartan it sounds intense though this won't be the final name for the browser but we should find that out once windows 10 is right around the corner we should also expect sentience support for the browser if it wants to compete with Google Chrome and for Microsoft to adapt its new rendering engine and provide updates to consumers running Windows 10 anyways thank you guys so much for watching if you guys like this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and if you guys haven't subscribed yet make sure to hit the subscribe button and I will see you guys in the next one
