The Gazelle web browser, which was my summer project in 2008 at MSR, has been getting a lot of press lately and even has a wikipedia page now. It’s interesting to read and see what different writers say and how people have been reacting.
- A less technical article on CNET – Microsoft browser takes radical path
- More technical at OS news – Gazelle: Applying OS concepts to the browser
- From The Guardian – Google Chrome OS: is it copying Microsoft’s Gazelle or is it more like Splashtop?
- Good one from Arstechnica – Inside Gazelle, Microsoft Research’s “browser OS”
- MSR summary and description – When is a browser not a browser?
There’s two official docs from MSR on Gazelle, a tech report and the USENIX Security 2009 publication. The publication is an improved version of the TR, so I’d stick with that. If there are more, let me know (grier@imchris.org). I’ve given a couple talks on Gazelle, one at Stanford for EE 380 that is online somewhere, and anyone can email me for my slides.
