Microsoft backed Barrelfish OS goes Open Source

“No it’s not Windows (but hey try ReactOS, it’s not bad). A
Microsoft Research backed operating system called Barrelfish is now
available under an open source BSD license.

“Barrelfish is a joint collaboration between Microsoft Research
and ETH Zurich, which is a science and technology university. The
partners have been working on Barrelfish since October of 2007.

“The code is now being made available as Barrelfish is going to
be talked about at an upcoming conference and the researchers
wanted other researchers to be able to see and experience what
Barrelfish is all about.”
