Microsoft Research's Gazelle – the ‘Browser OS'
Microsoft Research recently published a paper about an experimental browser named "Gazelle." The browser was called an experimental "multi-principal" OS that "uses processes to isolate page content elements originating from different domains." Um.. right!

Although Gazelle's architecture is loosely modeled on the underlying concepts of operating system design, it is not actually an operating system, it's not intended to replace Windows, and it won't compete with Chrome OS. It is a browser prototype that runs on Windows Vista, is coded in C#, and has a conventional user interface that is built with .NET's WinForms framework.
