It reminds me of the one Microsoft made, but we can actually play around with it :)

And this one probably isn't multi-threading everywhere.

EDIT: surprisingly easy to setup in a VM

EDIT 2: I suck at this apparently already made it freeze..

Microsoft's research OS was called Singularity [1] and the C# compiler (that compiled to native code) Bartok [2].

Singularity was later extended by the joint MS-MSR project Midori, which sadly was discontinued last year. Apparently some features are being incorporated into C#.

Joe Duffy is blogging about his experience: http://joeduffyblog.com/2015/11/03/blogging-about-midori/

Apologies, I committed to master instead of develop last night which caused a regression (we've just implemented a new scheduler). We'll be back to working order soon enough :)

Master should now be stable such that the console appears and you can type into it. You should also be able to Alt+Tab between the two shells.

Please note though, the codebase has been being transformed for the past 2 months and there's more work still to do which means most of the disk, file system and PCI stuff is unstable (related commands will cause the OS to freeze, crash or similar). We expect to be back to full functionality by March.
