That they are planning to use full fledged Carbon for IE 5.5. And Carbon has nothing to do with BSD - those are Mac OS 8.x, 9 compartible APIs with potential of somewhat better use of the things which Mac OS X offer such as mutlthreading, preemptive multitasking and so on. And as for the support of traditional Mac APIs microsof have had it for years. Of course you could port Carbon support to other UNICES easily, but that is not up to MSFT it is up to Apple, and I doubt they will do it, though if they would it could be fun - not only MSFT but all Apple apps will run.
this article is the major reason for the RAM to scyrocket? anyways of course scyrocketing is possible but not for long. More dangerous times would be when Microsof will release 64 bit version of Windows...
Hmm, this is wonderfull topic, is not it - will Microsoft be ever delivering INTERNET OS which would replace UNIX as a king? I mean in the serious way of asking, Microsoft is a great software engineering company of the proprietery traditional kind. It is having being able successfully, build products for consumers, and close to consumers customers. In the every market they started they have succeeded. Could such/this company create a product which will make internet creation/ maintenence / adminsitration / life easier and better as Windows 2000 making it better for the corporate administrator? This is not really clear for me, I am perhaps not technical enough. So far it is not the case, and imagining even Windows 2000 at the backbone of the internet looks like nightmare. Internet is eveolving too fast to have closed or semi closed technology behind it, everybody is tweaking it to their favor. But then again everything changes, and slows down... Will it be enough time for Microsoft before natural enthropy destroys their company somehow? Or perhaps, this is stupid question since I guess U.S. government would not allow that, so then they have no chances... It is still an interesting theoretical question to be asked here. What do others think? On the abstract side... Perhaps it should replace the air and light - those are mostly the things through which people communicate, and gather information. The problem of course is that communication through air and light is rather free, and no one could possibly control it. On the techinical side of course there are rather more intersting questions about which protocols, which format of data mostly - it is easy to fill internet with sound/video but then how informative is that? Perhaps another way to get some help of the internet is to decrease travel neccesisty to gather info, something like virtual travel - you wear some kind of equipment and then you are inside the "android" of some kind which walks, talks, hears, sees, smells for you as well as behaves like you. That is the only reasonable way to travel faster, but that's a lot of information. And then again, the problem is of course that you need to deal with all of this info. F.e. - www.google.com is good now to find staff, but 10 years from now? May be not.
Not a good sign i guess, this rather means that they have not found enough support for this project among top distribution or they did not look much for it and instead of having RedHat, Caldera, Suse and all releasing versions for NUMA or patches for NUMA - they did it themsleves... Open Source product from Close source company...
I wonder if this would make Microsoft to even faster write Office for Linux and IE for Linux, as well as IIS for Linux... the last one of course is not a big deal of competition but the two first ones are dangerous things - how would they affect Linux on the server? And perhaps Microsoft could come out with something like mNome or msKDE as well....-out of IE/E combination.... any opinions on that ?
Re:Does Be Inc know about this?

AtheOS

That is true, but then Be is not opensource, and certainly not GPL:( Anyways why would this be needed as OS - take good staff and plug it into the Linux kernel f.e.... BTW server running Atheos (if) is probably overloaded now, and being young and immature could not handle the load....
