Microsoft's next operating system may start from BSD
Barelfish. Have anybody heard such a beast?
Not somewhere behind the steel walls - in the academic silence of ETH university Microsoft is building the next generation of its operating system. Maybe this single department is not the only place where it is trying – I am more toward thinking this is happening it at least ten places worldwide.
Yet, very interesting to observe such change of strategy. I have discovered this growing project absolutely by chance – it has been announced in the lecture I was present. The lecture was given by the professor on a clearly Linux laptop and covered many great topics on Mach and L4. They really seem knowing a lot of things and they say they put into the new system lots of recent discoveries that neither Windows nor Linux implements. It looks like Microsoft seems understanding itself that having everything secret and locked is actually not so good, at least for beginning – a scientific project with articles and discussions is better. Interesting a lot to hear such news about a company like this. How this new system is looking like?
