The internet is of course a gateway for dangers for your computer. | |||
Packaging a browser with an OS could is one way to isolate different security zones from each other. There are many different options like | |||
1) using the os/browser combination to protect an other more critical os/data on the same computer (a company could use it to isolate the internet use from it's internal network, perhaps using a ipsec tunnel to keep the internet information insite) | |||
2) people could use it to do more critical things like homebanking on a not so safe computer. | |||
There could be some mechanism needed tot transport data from one security zone to the other one. In a compagny a server could do that. In a homecomputer maybe there is a need for a special one's to allow the host system to update himself without going itself on the internet. | |||
Some situations could ask for special, very strict security rules. Like limiting everything that is executed on the OS that is packed with the browser. | |||
