The Midori and Singularity proyects are just academical proyects to gain reputation on universities and promote the .net framework. What is really happenning is that Microsoft is planning to replace the win32 subsystem with a .net like subsystem. The next step is to prepare the kernel for SIMD architectures and in this step they are planning to make a microkernel based on the current HAL and microkernel (the code currently responsible of managing the CPU). The win32k is coming back to userland, directly to the .net like subsystem. Wanna know more about the security model they're planning or you prefer to read articles in wikipedia? --- iroz On Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:46:30 +0200 Nicolas RUFF <nicolas.ruff () gmail com> wrote:
