Barrelfish, My Thesis!

,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, I read about a new OS called Barrelfish in this 
| article in OS news. It is a collaboration between researchers at 
| ETH Zurich and Microsoft Research, an open source multikernel 
| operating system. I liked the idea and decided to get it; I was 
| pretty shocked when I was reading its README file and saw that 
| the OS is created on Linux! As an OS related to Microsoft, I 
| didnât expect it! :P 
| 
| Anyway, it seems that this project is not much related to 
| Microsoft itself, so being developed under Linux is not that 
| shocking!
| 
| Well, now Iâm much more interested in the OS as I can investigate 
| it in Linux :) .

Microsoft Research...why make the effort?

,----[ Quote ]
| What research is for, in cases like Microsoft, is status. It's a very tax
| efficient, with many valuable and wonderful side effects that occasionally
| benefit the company, but its primary task is marketing. It's proof, even in
| these most distressingly modern of times, that patronage works.
