Hey, I Got Quoted by an Industry Pundit!

Normally the feature stories on the Microsoft Research website don’t make it off the website.  But everything in life is timing, and this story about the Gazelle browser received major coverage from blogs and industry pundits because speculation about Google chrome is rife and therefore anything coming out of Microsoft, even a research prototype, is fodder for rumour.

I especially want to point out my favorite mention of the article, from a blog by Mary Jo Foley, industry pundit and Microsoft-watcher.  In it she says:

I’ve had Gazelle (the project which started out as “MashupOS”) explained to me a couple of times, but I never quite understood it. The new Microsoft-authored article, however, actually helped me understand more about where Microsoft is going with this project.

Yes! This is exactly the sort of response I want from clients and readers – complex subjects rendered easy to understand.
