Microsoft Jonathan Shapiro, main developer of Coyotos and BitC, has announced on the project's mailing list that he has been hired by Microsoft, and that he won't be able to continue to work on Coyotos and BitC. He promises to deliver a final release of BitC, with all the intended features, but he warns that that may not be possible. At Microsoft, he's going to work on the Midori project.

(...) It's surely good for him as a person and good for the Midori project, but a bit sad for Coyotos. It looked so promising from the beginning...

Yeah, EROS and CoyotOS really looked "promising", but I always felt that Shapiro somehow lacked the determination to push this project forward. So while I always hoped a formally verified, maybe really secure and fully functional, usable operating system would come out of this project, realistically, I knew it wouldn't happen.
Maybe at Microsoft he really gets something done...
