Gazelle Vs Chrome For Operating System 2.0

No one really questions the fact that at some level, a big motivation behind Google Chrome appears to stem from providing seamless access to Google Applications. All of which happen to be Web-based software.

But did you know that Microsoft also appears to be dabbling in this area as well? Based on the earliest reports, the Gazelle is designed to provide a more secure environment from one another. So if there is something that infected one Web app, it would be less likely to carry over to the second application. A bold and worthwhile pursuit to be sure. But considering just how late to the game this would make Microsoft, the real question is: Will anyone pay much attention to the project?

Despite my own misgivings on the words security and Microsoft showing up in the same sentence due to its track record with being slow to react in the past, I think that Gazelle might be something to keep a close eye on. Because Microsoft is correct in assuming that security issues will eventually arise with Web apps, it is worthwhile to explore different means of combating the issue before it becomes a problem much later on.
