Gazelle – Microsoft’s new browser OS(still under research/development)

Microsoft needs an operating system (a web version of Windows) And here comes Gazelle – Microsoft’s new browser (still under research/development), with the architecture similar to an operating system. With Gazelle, Microsoft is trying to redo the browser architecture (the same way as Google did) to make it suitable for the present day web applications.
Similar to Chrome, in Gazelle, each web application (web site) will be running in it’s own space, known as Principals. The browser will provide the browser kernel to manage and control the multiple principals that are running. Each principal will have the security and the separation from the other principal, thus improving the performance and security.
