Managed code - this is what Microsoft 's post Windows operating system, the so-called Midori, will be made up of, once the Singularity-offshoot project matures enough in the next generation in .NET framework architecture. The Software Development Times (SD Times) claim that they've already laid eyes on internal documents from Microsoft Research and spilled the beans in one huge exclusive. SD Times takes us through a concept tour through the thoughts and visions of the minds at work in Microsoft Research, and now we're just beginning to see through the surface of where the Redmond giant's financial resources are going. But first, we'll get you in the tech mood before we dive further into more jargon. Microsoft Research's Singularity Project is a one tracked goal to create an operating system built on managed code foundations. Managed code, a prime feature of the .NET framework architecture, allows for the execution of code under a contained virtual environment. With this technology, memory management becomes a thing of the past (barring hardware, software-to-hardware limitations) and opens up the door to having microkernels execute more efficiently. Singularity comes with one special idea, of which the project revolves around almost all the time: SIP or the software isolated process (which is also symbolic of the Singularity Project or as some have called, simply SiP). SIPs allow microkernels to execute tasks and utilizing a singl ...
