Well something has happened that I never thought I'd see ... the source code form singularity has been released to the masses! http://www.codeplex.com/singularity[^] Here's a brief overview of the OS: http://research.microsoft.com/displayArticle.aspx?0rc=n&id=1922[^] I can't wait to get home and dive into it, I've been following this project for a few years now and I was really impressed by it, it's really caught my interest and kindled my creative juices :P

There's a 3rd but it's name escapes me at the moment.

Heres some stats from the "World" build on my little old Pentium D with 2gig of RAM: nib: CPU time consumed by jobs : 00:54:12.8906250 nib: in user mode : 00:52:55.0312500 nib: in kernel mode : 00:01:17.8593750 nib: Elapsed time (wall time) : 00:27:54.0888391 nib: nib: Parallel throughput ratio: 194% nib: 153 job(s) succeeded, 0 job(s) failed Unfortunatly being at work right now I wont be able to run it until I get home tonight X( Oh actually it outputted an ISO image I can use in VirtualPC .... sweet

"Singularity differs fundamentally from other operating systems in that it is written almost entirely in an extension of C#," Oh my god. What a disaster. Thats going to be really slow. Of course this isnt true. The C# interpreter will be written in C of course. The middle bit sounded painfully like COM. "Singularity’s third unique architectural feature, called “manifest-based programs,” " Vista does this too, so whats new? Sounds like a load of guff to me. If you want the source code to an impressive stable OS take a look at Debian 2.6 and for ease of use, the Ubuntu derivative.

Nah he probably does what one of my Dad's friends did which was installed a shower into his London apartment although he already had a shower in the bath. However he used the bath for brewing beer and ale.

Thanks for your your superfical opinion :P Why don't you spend time reading all the avalible information about it and actually have a look at it rather than just cherry picking a couple of statements and throwing in an uninformed opinion?

You are welcome. Dont forget, I've got lots of opinions. If you dont like them, I've got plenty more!

Because it wouldnt be so ammusing? No, seriously though, I am up to my neck in splenulous regurgitant over the amount of cack that Microsoft comes out with and I am really sure this is just more of the same given the brief description YOU linked to. If you have a better link, then perhaps I will take a look but I doubt I will be convinced that it is sufficiently different or velid to get excited about. Look at COM. My god people had their pants down over that and now look at it? Its dead, finished, useless, replaced. Why? Because it was just more cack that served no purpose at all.

Well since you seem to be incapable of following the links on the page I pointed at here's one of the better documents on singularity: http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/publications/OSR2007_RethinkingSoftwareStack.pdf[^] Singularity is only for research purposes, it's currently nothing to do with windows and won't be commercialised. It was an experiment in what can be done using modern programming practises and tools with regards to designing a new OS from the ground up. The interesting bit is the SIPs and the stuff that goes with them such as the pipelines and the fact that all code is fully verifiable.

Reminds me of the time I was learning Java (late 90's) - everything was being rewritten with Java - there was JavaOS, Java Office, Java Browser (it had some other name, though), Java DBMS, you name it... The last thing of that sort was Java Desktop - which wasn't even written in Java, but in plain old C: Linux + GNOME :)

Eeek, a pdf. Hmm, perhaps not, I have to write some code for a real OS kernel, actually, for Microsoft as it happens. Anyone know a GUID to UNICODE_STRING converter?

In that C# language you so frequently disparage: Guid.ToString();//with overloads for the various formats.
