It's a pretty fitting codename, originating from the Spartan Program from Halo:
"...using performance enhancing equipment and augmentations to make them stronger and faster than previously thought possible..."
I think they should stick with it as well.
- pandatigox 12y agoIt's very interesting how much Halo plays an influence into the Microsoft world. It started off with Cortana and now we have a Spartan project! (on a side, I thought it was ironic how the article said "Cortana is more tightly embedded into the new browser". Like what next? HUDs!?!)
- navait 12y agoI think halo is a good smart marketing move to associate future Microsoft consumer products with halo. The 360 is by far microsoft's biggest consumer electronic success, and halo it's flagship franchise. Kids growing up now with the 360 will know it, and it's not associated with the boring windows enterprise stuff. And if you don't know halo, the names sound okay anyways. I mean it was that or resurrect clippy.
- rdudek 12y agoWell, they do have Hololens project going. Seems better than HUDs.
