After Google Chrome OS, Also Microsoft has published a research paper of an experimental “multi-principal OS” for the Web. The new project from Microsoft called Gazelle. Remember, the intended development of some journalists as a competitor recently announced an operating system, Google Chrome OS. Based on an official document of the Microsoft Research study group, the experts concluded that although the two projects have something in common, in fact they are quite different from each other.

Speaking generally, the Microsoft Gazelle project is an experiment to establish a secure browser with the highest degree of security. Like its competitor, Chrome, the new browser also breaks down the performance of specific tasks into separate processes. However, unlike the brainchild Google, generating this division at the level of web pages, each of which is located in a separate tab, the sandbox, experts suggest Microsoft to break into separate elements of the processes directly within a page. Thus, any content from various servers located at a specific page, becomes isolated and is executed as a separate process. To manage these processes have a central “core”. This technology allows us to isolate the malicious content or virus code that can harm your browser or operating system.

So far, experimental browser, Microsoft Gazelle works on Internet Explorer’s “Trident” rendering engine and only on the software Windows platform. At the moment it is unclear whether it is in a commercial embodiment of the future, or will remain a kind of laboratory to develop security technology that may find its place, for example, in the following versions of the Internet Explorer browser.
