IE is still gonna live next door (to be used for enterprise/compat) probably for a while. I don't understand what they are saying about solving incompatibility issues of IE-specific code in Spartan - which is presumably NOT IE.
- cwyers 12y agoBasically, they took Trident, refactored it and stripped out all the compatibility shims, and made it into EdgeHTML, which they will be working on making similar to WebKit/Blink/Gecko in terms of how it renders web pages. For pages that still need IE, you can switch to Trident, which will still be around.
