Microsoft Most of us are probably aware of Singularity, a research operating system out of Microsoft Research which explored a number of new ideas, which is available as open source software. Singularity isn't the only research OS out of Microsoft; they recently released the first snapshot of a new operating system, called Barrelfish. It introduces the concept of the multikernel, which treats a multicore system as a network of independent cores, using ideas from distributed systems.

Programming doesn't follow the basic tenets of science such as observation, creating and testing hypotheses or experimentation.

Algorithms are mathematics. Mathematics is not considered a science. Mathematics is a tool used in science.
