Microsoft Interview Question
Software Engineer / DevelopersCountry: India

open multiple tabs of your browser and then see the number of processes generated in task manager(if you are using windows XP or windows 7)
i just figured out we can check that by ourselves using task manager. go to the Details tab of a task manager, now open your browser, you can see new task(Process) for that browser. Open a new tab in that browser and observe the task manager, if you see another process getting created, then that means every tab is creating its own process, and if u just see only one instance of the process even after opening a new tab then i is thread. correct me if i am wrong
Depends on the browser. On Chrome, its a new process whenever you open a tab. On Firefox it is thread. Windows IE a new process is opened.
