Microsofts new Gazelle concept is the greatest thing to hit Linux or the computer industry as a whole ever. According to Microsoft, Gazelle is a secure web browser constructed as a multi-principal OS. I never thought I would live to see the day that Microsoft announces its own suicide.
Does anyone really need reminded of the non stop security issues related to Internet Explorer over the years of its existence. If you think about it. How many years and money do you really need to build a secure stable web browser. If Microsoft really needs more time and money to get it right then they really shouldn't be writing code at all. Face it Microsoft. Internet Explorer is a virus, adware, spyware, and malware delivery device. IE is as good for your computer as a cigarette is to your health. Its a great browser for security software companies but a real nightmare for users.
I say go for it Microsoft. This is the single greatest idea you had at least from a Linux users stand point. Build Gazelle with the same build quality as Internet Explorer and hopefully we will get to enjoy a Microsoft free world before we die. Thanks again.
