Carrying on with the theme of cross-platform usage, Internet Explorer will indeed be replaced by the new browser, Spartan. Cortana will be built-in, allowing for voice-command control but it will also be able to provide information tailored to the user. A particular cool feature of Spartan is the "noting mode", allowing users to scribble or make notes over web pages and then share them over social networks.
