The Security Mentor

They just did something interesting. They bought a security company called GreenBorder, which wraps your web browser in a sort of cocoon or sandbox so that if something goes wrong , like visiting a malicious web site, the damage can't spread to your computer.

My first reaction to seeing GreenBorder, by the way, was to say "Whether they know it or not, Microsoft needs to buy you".

I don't know what Google has in mind, but it would make sense if they're planning more and richer desktop applications and want to contain the security risks up front. Smart.
