Posting from within Spartan
Posting this from the new Project Spartan browser in Windows 10 b10049 ... It's definitely fast. Really, really fast.

Does it use multiple executables?

Yes, I'm showing 4 listed in TM just to get here - New tab == new .exe instance.

Does it do that for every tab? One of the things previous versions of IE was smart about, was doing tab/process grouping - so, unlike insane-o chrome, you don't end up with a zillion processes not executables. The separation of "UI" and "Worker" processes seems like a sound thing to do, but each site in its own processes is... ugh (sure, there's some security implications, but mostly it smells like a "uh, threading and async is hard" thing to me).

Sorry, it took me a while to get back to this (I didn't have time to fiddle with 10). It starts with 3 for the first tab/page, added a forth for the 2nd tab, then held there for the 3rd tab. Added another for the 4th tab, and held there for the next 7. The 8th tab finally added another instance of the .exe.
So...I'll go with yes on this one.
- I just saw an article that says a search bar (may?) be hard-coded to sit there starting at you in Win10, and it's part integrated with Bing.-TaoPhoenix (April 08, 2015, 01:03 AM)

It is currently the - search every with tiled MSN like web highlights (ick) - default, but there is an option to remove it ... Which I'd sincerely hope they never drop.

So they still use tab/process grouping, instead of a process per tab - good :)

The big news is they rolled back some of the User Interface "UI" weirdness. Some more tweaks in the core. But I'm not sure quite what else between the lines.
I'm waiting for the "sneaky" stuff to appear in the news, and it's surprisingly not here yet - Betas have been floating around a lot, and I haven't seen the surprises I sorta expect. Don't ask me what kind, just that the early news feels like it's got gaps in it somewhere I can't pin down.
