Apple Matters | Singularity
Some interesting stuff here about a MS Research OS called Singularity.
James makes some great points about the pros and cons, but one of his arguments is flawed.
He talks about the short-sightedness of using Sing# to code the OS and code apps for the OS. I don't see any problem in this, longer term, since MS would no doubt use their existing CLR (Common Language Runtime) architecture, which would make application coding language independant and potentially/probably the coding of the OS itself as well... (Spec# basically being extensions to [Spec#] extensions to [C#] extensions to [C++] extensions to C)
Good to see there are some seriously open-minded people at MS!
