Current version of Project Spartan is said to be only marginally better than IE11 in HTML5 compliance
When it officially unveiled the Project Spartan (codename) browser last month, Microsoft said it would not be part of “our first few Insider builds.” It is hard to say how much longer we might have to wait for the first publicly available Windows 10 preview build with Project Spartan, but one thing is for sure: leaks, whether of entire builds or images therefrom, are never far off.
The latest set of Windows 10 leaks, or purported leaks, comes to us from Chinese site ITHome.it. A couple of days back, a series of images, allegedly showing some new icons from an as-yet unreleased build of the Windows 10 Tech Preview (build 10009), appeared on the site. On Saturday, it delivered a second, more interesting tranche of images, that of the Project Spartan browser.
Apart from the images, which can be found below, the site has also posted the browser’s HTML5test.com score to give us an idea about its current level of HTML5 compliance. Although nothing to write home about, the HTML5test.com score of 360 points (out of a possible 555 points) that the site attributes to its test build of Project Spartan is marginally better than the 343 points that it says Internet Explorer 11 notched up. Curiously, however, the online HTML5 compliance tool is said to have identified Project Spartan, supposedly an entirely different browser with a new rendering engine, as IE11.
