Microsoft has released an initial release of version 2.0 of the Singularity operating system (research development kit, as it likes to call it). Singularity is a microkernel research operating system, where the kernel, drivers, and applications are all written in managed code. Singularity is released under a shared source academic license, and you can do whatever you want with it, except making money (simply put).

If you can't take the truth please just say so. Calling it FUD won't help.
You will not be allowed to compete with Microsoft using their code (which is fair enough if that's what they want), but worse, Microsoft's concept of open source is where you contribute code to a project, to them, for free with nothing in return in terms of code freedom to make it worth your while.

Can somebody throw this FUD-Monkey off the site please. The sheer amount of false garbage I see you spewing out on thread after thread is downright sickening Sedge.
