Spot the difference: Internet Explorer is dead, long live Microsoft Edge | Technology

It's official, Microsoft has killed off Internet Explorer, its new browser will be Microsoft Edge although you'll be forgiven for thinking nothing has changed if you're looking at the logo. The browser, formally known as Project Spartan after the protagonist of Microsoft's Halo game series, is completely new according to the company. It announced the new name as part of its Windows 10 presentation at its Build developers conference in San Francisco. Edge is meant to give Microsoft a clean break from the negative connotations attached to the Internet Explorer brand by millions of people forced to use old, decrepit versions on work computers. It will live on for many of Microsoft's customers as the centrepiece of much software as a services packages, often required by administrative applications and point of sale.
