It seems like Microsoft Research is really busy these days with research operating systems. We had Singularity, a microkernel operating system written in managed code, and late last week we were acquainted with Barrelfish, a "multikernel" system which treats a multicore system as a network of independent cores, using ideas from distributed systems. Now, we have a third contestant, and it's called Helios.

Perhaps Microsoft people have been playing DeusEx. There was a Helios supercomputer in the game. BTW, any information on DeusEx III ?
