The company has been, up until now, fairly open and transparent when it comes to the development progress of the two browsers it plan on including in its next operating system — with regular updates to what new features they are in line to receive.
And this time around, Redmond has detailed the addition of what is top 10 request for IE.
Interestingly, the software titan has been working with the Firefox development team to implement support for asm.js, which is generally utilized for transpiling (source-to-source compiling) C/C++ code to run on the web.
Probably the main reason why this is being implemented.

Both Firefox and Chrome utilize it for notable performance boosts.
Microsoft has confirmed that the feature will be part of Windows 10, and fingers crossed we get to see it in action in a future demonstration on either Internet Explorer or Spartan.
