Release Notes
This is the initial 2.0 release of the Singularity Research Development Kit (RDK), including many major updates to the platform since its initial release in March, based on Change Set 17067. The 2.0 release of the Singularity RDK is based on the original release and features an extensive list of bug fixes and new features. Some of most notable are:
Support for AMD64 64-bit platforms
Updates to the Bartok MSIL-to-native compiler and the Sing# compiler
A new, more modern and extensible bootloader
Several new applications and application documentation
Eventing support
More extensive ACPI support
A unit testing library
A ramdisk device
An SMB client service
Can now check out the most recent version of the Singularity RDK directly from CodePlex source control
There are two downloads:
Singularity RDK 2.0 CD image.World.zip
: A ZIP archive containing a bootable ISO for a complete compiled build of Singularity for the 32-bit x86 platform. This can be mounted in Virtual PC (a .vmc file is included) or burned to a disc and used to boot a real PC.
Singularity RDK 2.0 Source.zip
: A ZIP archive containing the complete source tree for Singularity, allowing you to build your own binaries, create your own applications and drivers, and make your own custom kernel modifications. To minimize download time, this archive does not include debug symbols for build tools; if you want these, you can use the Download link for Change Set 17067 on the Source Code tab.
Future development plans
Beginning with RDK 2.0, we're moving to a model of incremental releases where the codebase will grow and improve more gradually over time.
We're also looking to increase community participation in the RDK 2 - so if you're using the RDK for something cool, let us know on the Discussions tab, and submit Patches on the Source Code tab. Patches will be integrated into the codebase, so that other RDK users can take advantage of your work.
We will grant Developer permissions
to frequent contributors to help streamline their contributions and let the users drive the future of the RDK.
Reviews for this release
I think that any continued development and "out of the box" thinking (Windows, UNIX, etc,) is good and can only improve future OS development.

Too bad I dont see any development on it. 10-26-2010. would be nice for small systems that don't need windows. If you like this idea, please check out Cosmos. Just google it, er i mean Bing it.

I think this is Lame. All Microsoft is doing is an another opensource kernel & I doubt the sincerity of Microsoft. The fact it's written completely in C# and runs on Microsoft's proprietary CIL is no more an advantage then just utilizing the proprietary .Net platform. In essence this could be done with Windows, just that Microsoft wants to make a good show. Rember MS Cairo & Windows 2k/XP source ?

Jeszcze nie wiem czy podołam temu systemowi więc zaczynam szukać bo sam Windows już mnie męczy i ciągle udoskonalać go cza bo ma dziury szkoda iż nie wiele jest napisane o tym systemie

It is great initiative to build a managed OS> But it needs TFTP serevrs which means it cannot be used by everyone on Virtual PC and it is not that easily booted up.

We must evolve the OS as well of hardware.

I just stumbled upon this release of Singularity. Thus far, I have liked what I have seen. The things that I like about this project is that it is well documented and offers a chance for new advances in Operating System design.
