Microsoft Codenames, and the Experimental Operating System Singularity
Posted on August 22, 2007, under Development, Software.
Wikipedia is great tool, contributors have compiled a very in depth list of codenames from Microsoft’s products over the years. This list dates back to Thunder, or Visual Basic 1.0. Or even earlier Janus, or Windows 3.1.
Scrolling through the list I came across the experimental operating system Singularity, that I have never heard of before. From Wikipedia…
Experimental operating system based on the Microsoft .NET platform, using software-based type safety as a replacement for hardware-based memory protection.
Channel 9 has some videos with the developers and researchers of this project.
