Even they aren't writing for software engineers.<br /><br />Perhaps I was reading in to it more than it was there but I figured that the underlying motivation for re-vamping the browser design was so it could more effectively be used for EVERYTHING.Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215605260437361006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648148204005368338.post-256089723540105502009-08-13T11:46:59.263-07:002009-08-13T11:46:59.263-07:00I think my head aspolded anyway.
I realize that t...I think my head aspolded anyway.<br /><br />I realize that the article isn't geared for a technical audience. As such, a certain amount of imprecision and hand waving doesn't cause too much grief. However, after reading the article a couple of times, it's still not really clear what they're doing except that it'll be better than Google Chrome.<br /><br />"Instead of protecting people the operating system should protect applications from one another." Umm, don't they already? Applications run in isolated memory spaces on modern desktop OSes. Unless it's web applications that's being talked about, in which case it isn't any fault of the OS that the browser has been built as one huge application.<br /><br />Also, doesn't Chrome run each tab ("web application") as it's own process to make use of the underlying inter-process protections? The article seems to misrepresent Chrome a bit.<br /><br />As least it didn't get me all riled up with some vision of everything running as a web application in a browser. :)jachrispensnoreply@blogger.com
