Star Microsoft Releases Code for 'Multikernel' Research OS 'Barrelfish'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 25th Sep 2009 23:12 UTC, submitted by Still Lynn
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.

Well, since you aren't happy with MS, you can always bitch a little about freedom of the software and pray to your God Stallman.

I guess that the site is called 'Os news', not 'FSF News'. ;)

What a dumb thing to say. I hate Linux just as much as I hate every other OS out there. I hate them all, equally. There are all dinosaurs, ancient relics of a bygone age.
