They don't really have anything new to talk about... I asked them.
When they do have something to talk about that we haven't already covered you will see it on C9...C

Researchers who don't want to talk endlessley? I don't believe it! Charles, burst into the Singularity offices and shout "Who are you, and what have you done with the real Singularity team?".
Or I guess we'll just have to learn to be patient, like my mother always said.

Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.
Can you see when/if they'll get round to developing a Managed windowing system and desktop for Singularity? Would be interesting...Charles wrote:They don't really have anything new to talk about... I asked them.

Yeah, I agree. I would really like to see something like that, especially with it all being managed code.

And often the journey is more interesting than the actual destination. -

It's a research project. Presumably they're going to continue working on it until it comes useful, right now it's just a functional microkernel with an innovative process management technique.
I reckon it'll become a marketable product by v3.0 where Microsoft can push it in the Cluster/Enterprise computing area, maybe even other Science fields. Right now Apple's pre-empting Microsoft and advertising directly to scientists.

Sounds to me as if Microsoft is evolving itself into the next IBM. Lots of research. Lots of patents. No actual products.

I want Singularity to be Windows 8 or even 7!
I can dream can't I?
