Not really a disagreement with pjmlp, but MS has had several internal projects like this, where they create an “ideal state” for some part of their software portfolio, then incorporate learned lessons into their existing software packages. The blog posts linked elsewhere in the discussion threads and the one I’ve included below give examples of how both Singularity and Midori contributed to other projects, including C++, C#, .NET, and Windows.

Well that is just my point of view, following Microsoft ecosystems since MS-DOS 3.3.

Everything I state comes from reading between the lines from ways things have been written, presented and so forth.

I might be wrong, obviously.

Sounds like your read is pretty dead-on. My comment was more of an “and” to your’s.
