What was wrong with the name Spartan for their new browser? I'm not sure how I feel about Edge...

Edge starts with an 'e' so it can still use a similar logo to Internet Explorer, which is significant.
I agree Spartan would have been the cooler name, but Edge is a pretty cool name too. The browser field is full of weird and wacky names (consider Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome; that's four weird words right there) but we get used to them extremely quickly.
