"I still remember the day very clearly. It was Monday, October 27, 2003. Several thousand developers - and, let's face it, quite a few garden variety Windows enthusiasts - charged into Hall A at the Los Angeles Convention Center like teenage girls at a Justin Timberlake concert, volleying for the best seats. I've been to more Bill Gates keynotes than I can count, and this was the first time I ever saw anyone climb over other people in order to secure a better view (no offense to Mr. Gates, but he's not exactly a dynamic speaker). It was PDC 2003 and everything was right with my world." Read more of the editorial here.

Of course it is certainly a pipe dream, I was just trying to help the parent poster as what he seemed to remember sounded a lot like Singularity.
Considering how long Vista (even with many features removed) is taking to be released, Singularity would be more than years off, I'm thinking decades 
It would be nice though, but most pipe dreams are.

My understanding is that Singularity is a blue sky research project with a focus on security and using managed code (a la .NET). Nothing I've read sounds like it will be ready anytime soon, and I'd be in no hurry to adopt a completely new OS using .NET technology just because MS says it's more "secure." Bottom line: it'll be years, best case.
