What a ridiculous idea. The application developer's free lunch is over, now she needs to think concurrently? Ha, she probably has difficulty with a single thread of thought...
But seriously, isn't the OS responsible for the heavy lifting with regards to task scheduling and concurrency? Oh, wait, this is Microsoft, right? Perhaps this is similar to their take on Security being somebody else's problem.
Moronic... It never ceases to amaze me how gullible M$ users are. Reminds me of the AOL versus broadband fud, "Sure AOL's not quite as fast, but..." How can it be the User's fault if the OS allows programs to run in privileged modes without asking the user?
unbelievable - "I don't allow users at my organization to use any third party e-mail." What about public phones, cell phones, flash drives, uh... Why not just curtail any network use? Oh, and I'm sure you "don't allow" folks to use tunnels either, right? Go back to cisco class, bozo, there's a big bad world out there that you're clueless about.
It's not a distro in the usual sense although it is about creating a personalized instance of the OS - it's not for distributing, as such. The only connection to the Brown controversy, is in the timing - the Brown controversy served as a catalyst to get the project moving.
No, it's not about installing Minix. It's about getting into the source code and seeing how it ticks - while at the same time - building a personalized 'distro' of Minix, if you will.

Sheesh - get a real OS and quit whining.

This would be an islamic view, not christian... the analogous christian situation would have been:
foreach $languser(@scriptinglanguages) {
throwinfierypit($languser);
}
