Microsoft's new Project Spartan browser is out....

It's in beta right now and pretty buggy of course. It's supposed to replace IE eventually. You can only get it by doing the Windows 10 beta program. Hopefully MS will update it frequently and keep it as secure as possible.

That's what it looks like so far. Comments on it are here:

I had better luck, a few bugs but otherwise usable. That Korea thing is really weird. I would definitely ask on the forums about that.

I have a thread going here about Windows Update Cleanup gone amok. Read it and similar threads for some hearty guffaws, Some "MVP's" & Moderators are none too swift over there IMO & I let a few of em have it. (I am user "PinkFreud56" over there)

eta: also this

Paul Thurrott also noted seeing these apps after updating to Windows 10 Core too.
Looks like its an error in the distribution of content intended for a particular market.
