Windows 10's oft-reported Spartan web browser (http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/29/windows-10-may-get-new-browser/) may not just be a leaner, fresher substitute for Internet Explorer -- it could have a few tricks up its sleeve, too. Sources for The Verge claim (http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/8/7516489/windows-10-new-browser-spartan-features) that Microsoft's voice-guided Cortana assistant will be present both in the OS (http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/05/cortana-windows-10/) and in Spartan -- much like Chrome's "OK Google" feature (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/22/ok-google-chrome-stable/), you can reportedly open a new browser tab and ask Cortana to look something up, whether it's a website or your flight itinerary. There's also talk of pen-based annotations for websites that you can share with others through the cloud.
