Microsoft Edge is the replacement [[web browser]] for [[Internet Explorer]]. Previously under the codename Project Spartan, Microsoft Edge introduces a new [[layout engine]], [[EdgeHTML]], and integrates [[Cortana (software)|Cortana]] for search capabilities. An ability to take web notes using a stylus or a text entry was introduced.<ref name="wincentral-edge">{{cite web|url=http://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-edge|title=Microsoft Edge|website=Windows Central|accessdate=16 August 2015}}</ref>

Line 14 ⟶ 9:

Windows 10 also allows [[web app]]s and desktop software (using either [[Win32]] or [[.NET Framework]]), to be packaged for distribution on [[Windows Store]]. Desktop software distributed through Windows Store is packaged using the [[App-V]] system to allow [[sandbox (computer security)|sandboxing]]. Web apps are executed from remote servers, and have access to Windows functions such as notifications and camera access. As with Windows 8, locally-packaged web apps can be written using [[HTML]] and [[WinJS]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/microsofts-next-attempt-to-fill-the-windows-10-app-gap-web-app-apps/ |title=Microsoft's next attempt to fill the Windows 10 app gap: Web app apps |last1=Peter |first1=Bright |date=March 3, 2015 |website=Ars Technica |publisher=Condé Nast |access-date=March 9, 2015}}</ref><ref name=zdnet-appvappgap>{{cite web|title=Here's how Microsoft hopes to get Android and iOS phone apps into its Windows 10 Store|url=http://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-microsoft-hopes-to-get-android-and-ios-phone-apps-into-its-windows-10-store/|website=ZDNet|accessdate=May 3, 2015}}</ref>
