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.

Relax, this is most likely the view of one of purists of science definition as "Acquiring knowledge by applying Scientific Method".
Too bad that definition leaves Math out of it, that's why I refuse to accept such definition, but most people I know gladly accept it. So, it's simply a matter of semantics, I guess.
Please note that I don't mean the word "purist" in an offending way, more like describing a specific line of thought.
