Yes, Microsoft can definitely build a better browser. They just need to put their hearts to it. And cut off all support for IE. They envisioned a Chrome-OS like system before Google did, and I think they even have a team to work on it (not sure though).
- JarekS 17y agoI agree that they have envisioned a Chrome-OS like system before Google (right after Netscape mentioned that they will turn Windows into set of poorly debugged device drivers). But this vision was not "Wow! Let's do that!" - instead it was more like "Oh my God! If this ever going to happen it will kill our business. Let's kill Netscape then.".
- chaosprophet 17y agoNo, I wasn't referencing that. I was talking about the Gazelle project[1], which if I remember correctly came about a very long time after Netscape's death. [1] http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/79655/gazelle.pdf http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/79655/gazelle.pdf
- papachito 17y agoGoogle was already working on Chrome when gazelle was announced. They didn't built it in a day.
