Singularity III: Revenge of the SIP

I notice in the dir listing that it is much more than a flat filesystem, you have listings for chan (channels?) and mem (memory?? very cool), very unix/powershell.

Looking at your OS it seems like you guys are following great design path. You guys should definitely start looking into PowerShell integration as firstly PowerShell is based on .Net Framework and secondly it is also one of the innovative technologies
from Microsoft.
It would be really nice to call OS API from command line.
and whenever forget any command , then you can just type get-command *<keyword>* e.g get-command *kill*
Man, I'd so love to see
my web server run on Singularity
Out of curiosity, that HTTP server is Cassini, right? How much modification did it take to get it running?
Sing# !? I am looking for Sing# specifications withou success.
Any link to learn more about Sing#?

Hey!
There are several community managed operating system project around that you can look at:
JOS: Java based OS. It's on SourceForge.
SharpOS: C# OS (The one I am working on), the kernel is written 100% in C# (don't flame me before you actually have a look at it). Also hosted on SourceForge. There is also ONE video on YouTube.
SmallTalk: Has been around for decades. Pick your favourite one.

PowerShell is, well, a shell. It's sits on top of a kernel. The kernel is what communicates with your hardware (via drivers, interrupts, raw CPU instructions, whatnot).
Singularity is a kernel written in C#, not a shell. Although I can't see why they couldn't use the code from powershell once they have the code in the kernel nailed down and complete.
Jus go to wikipedia and look up kernel and shell...

You might write a .PS1 script which takes advantage of a cmdlet/feature that is only available in V2. If you send this to someone that has PS V1, it will fail "in some way and at some time".
Awesome, Singularity's public!
Does anyone know where a list of commands is?
Man, this project is a really cool thing but MS hasn't worked on it for several years. I think they should restart development, and I think it could become the next big thing.
