Windows 10's New Browser Reportedly Lets You Search with Your Voice

Windows 10's Oft-Reported 'Spartan' Web Browser, May Not just be a Leaner, Fresher Substitute for Internet Explorer -- it Could Have a Few Tricks Up its Sleeve, too. Sources for The Verge Claim that, Microsoft's Voice-Guided 'Cortana' Assistant will be Present Both in the OS and in 'Spartan' -- Much Like Chrome's "OK Google" Feature, you Can Reportedly Open a New Browser Tab and Ask 'Cortana' to Look Something Up, Whether it's a Website or your Flight Itinerary. There's also Talk of Pen-Based Annotations for Websites that you Can Share with Others through the Cloud. The Apparent Scoop also Supports Details Mentioned in Earlier Reports, including the Existence of Separate Desktop and Mobile Versions, a Lightweight, Chrome-Like Interface and the Inclusion of Internet Explorer in Windows for the Sake of Compatibility. Whether or Not, you'll See Microsoft Show Any of this at its January 21 Windows 10 Event is Another Matter. Neowin Claims to Have Seen an Early Build of 'Spartan' and it Didn't See 'Cortana' -- while the Assistant May Show Up, Neither it nor 'Spartan' itself is Necessarily Ready for the Spotlight.
