Windows phones may support android apps soon

Although Microsoft has improved its User Interface and the Cortana, it has still got a lot to do.Because of its limited applications in the store,Microsoft is not gaining the popularity that it deserves.
In a way to enhance its smartphone market,Microsoft is willing to support Android apps in its Windows phone.This is the first by a company(Blackberry provided access to the Android apps in its Blackberry 10.3 OS).
Although Microsoft had launched its Android phone(Nokia X and XL before it was brought by Microsoft),it failed miserably to satisfy the people.
Hope that the move by Microsoft would help them.

Internet Explorer to make way for Spartan

Seems like New Year is going to be filled with a new world for Microsoft.With Windows 10 on its way,reports say that Internet Explorer is going to make an exit to make way for a new browser 'Spartan'. A stiff competition in the digital world has forced Microsoft to end Internet Explorer.
The new browser's(code named as Spartan) lightweight design is said to be similar to Google Chrome and Firefox browsers both of which are significant among the users since their introduction.
Spartan is expected to take us to new height

 With security flaws and Microsoft's refusal for third-party add-ons,switching gears to a new brand that is free from Internet Explorer’s antiquated stigma may prove to be a shrewd– if not long overdue– decision.Sources also say that Microsoft will stick with Chakra Javascript engine(used in Internet Explorer 9) and the Trident rendering kit,used in Chrome and Safari browser.
Its unclear whether Windows 10 will come with Spartan or not.The company is expected to reveal more about Spartan on January 21,on the day where the features of Windows 10 would be revealed.
