Well they took Cyclone & made Vault C, so they might as well go along with Inferno/Plan9 too. Interestingly enough, Singularity is written in Sing#, yet another MS-specific language. ugh. I think F# is the only thing to have recently escaped MSR (well, besides LINQ, although they killed Comega).

A: No. -- Ovid "By cosmic rule, as day yields night, so winter summer, war peace, plenty famine. All things change. Air penetrates the lump of myrrh, until the joining bodies die and rise again in smoke called incense." "Men do not know how that which is drawn in different directions harmonises with itself. The harmonious structure of the world depends upon opposite tension like that of the bow and the lyre." "This universe, which is the same for all, has not been made by any god or man, but it always has been, is, and will be an ever-living fire, kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures" -- Heraclitus
