Microsoft has always had its own internet browser, but for many people, they'd rather download other programs like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome to browse online.

Recent reports claim, however, that Microsoft is finally ditching its default browser (the Internet Explorer, in case you're wondering) and will be replacing it with a yet-unnamed program for Windows 10.

At the Microsoft Convergence Conference in Atlanta on Monday, executive Chris Capossela announced that the IE brand, while not being permanently booted, will be pushed to the sidelines.

The Verge recorded Capossela saying, "We're now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10. We'll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we'll also have a new browser called Project Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing,"

PC Mag Asia, however, noted that despite the announcement, it could take a while before IE disappears completely, saying that it is still expected to be present for Windows 10, and IE-specific technologies could still be operative, but hidden away in the new OS, expected to be released by the end of the year.

The new browser will likely be a part of the company's "Project Spartan," and it seems, according to BGR, that the company has faith in the program, and it is set to gradually phase out IE.

Microsoft senior program manager Jacob Rossi said in an interview with Smashing Magazine, "Spartan is the browser we expect people will be using on Windows 10. That said, there are a set of businesses that have built key tools on top of Internet Explorer's legacy extensibility. So Internet Explorer will be made available on Windows 10 for some enterprise Web applications that require a higher degree of backward compatibility."

He also added, "This version of Internet Explorer will use the same dual-engine approach as Spartan with EdgeHTML the default for the Web, meaning developers won't need to treat Internet Explorer and Spartan differently and our standards roadmap will be the same."

Capossela also noted the importance of the brand name, telling the crowd at the Microsoft Convergence, "We're now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10. We'll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we'll also have a new browser called Project Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing."

Do you think the company should keep its default browser, or are they right in rebranding it to a newer version via Project Spartan?
