Microsoft’s Next Browser To Be Based on Gazelle?
Baldy
Apparently, Internet Explorer is on its way out. JCXP.net is saying that Internet Explorer 8 will be the last traditional version of Microsoft’s web browser, and that Microsoft’s next web browser will be based on a promising Microsoft Research project dubbed “Gazelle”.
Reading through the Microsoft Research paper on Gazelle, it becomes clear that it is an intricate beast. It relies on a “browser kernel”, 5000 lines of C# code, that exposes the underlying system to webpages using a set of system calls. Web content does not interact with the actual operating system at all; all communication goes through the sandboxed browser kernel. The browser kernel takes care of all resource protection and sharing.
Okay I will beleive it when I see it, Baldy
