Microsoft Singularity Now "Open" Source

Alex_Ionescu writes "Microsoft's Singularity operating system (covered previously by Slashdot) is now open to the public for download, under a typical Microsoft academic, non-commercial license. Inside is a fully compilable and bootable version of what could be the basis for the future of Windows, or maybe simply an experiment to demonstrate .NET's capabilities. Singularity, if you'll recall, has gained wide interest from researchers and users alike, by claiming to be a fully managed code kernel (with managed code drivers and applications as well), something that would finally revolutionize the operating system research arena. The project is available on CodePlex."

No one cares.

Why don't you try commenting on the actual Singularity project, or the RDK, instead of whining about the license? Can't? Too hard?

That's why it won't be a "breeding" ground. It'll be a "BLEEDING GROUND"....

Hmmm, i looked at the singular singularity site and noticed:

Ryan Braud (University of Califorina, San Diego

Seems like a singular symbol is missing..., and a singular character swapping/transposition inserted...

No WONDER this product will "never be commercial"....

Maybe they need to take some of that silverlight and and ms word and spell check?

Wow, I figure you might just have been someone with a difference of opinion looking for a debate. But seeing as how you are replying to all of the posts clarifying the difference between OSI's definition, and the common English language definition with drivel like "STFU Microsoftie", it seems pretty clear that your opinion as a whole should be dismissed.
