Is Microsoft's 'Singularity' the OS of the future?
Microsoft's TechFest internal science fair wasn't just about social networking and telescopes.

The software isn't the next version of Windows or a reheated DOS. It's a prototype of an operating system intended for computer science research that Microsoft said demonstrates the possibilities for software that is more dependable and secure than contemporary OSes (yes, that includes Windows).

Written in C#....................... As usual there's always some M$ hook into anything that they touch. I would seriously doubt that it would be the "wave or O/S of the future." Too many people/institutions on this planet trust M$ about as far as a 500 year old man can run. Always a gimmick to two, not to mention an outrageous price, and not to forget that by then it will take three octo-cores and 16T of memory just to get the OS to fire off..... :rotfl:

hmmm I wonder if it shows that I'm not an M$ fan. ??
