I haven't seen this magical word in the presentation. Moreover I do not see the CPU/GPU convergence often talked about. It sounds more like a marketing hype. Moreover the ecosystem could be enriched with DSP or Network processor cores all uniformly offering their resources to software, I did not see it.

If the talks would be about Darwin distros and OSX emulation layers.

It still has very good products. But in my own opinion they should have switched to MIPS64. In any case better incorporation of latest x64 ISA updates by Intel, investment on Coreboot and by default incorporation of IOMMU (ukernel, virtualization friendly) into their products could revive them. Their APU dream is forward looking and they still have a lot to offer. However I still believe a switch to MIPS64 could have given them better chances to differentiate. The Win32 monopoly is the problem but there are other OSes that could make a difference (see Linux,Haiku, BSDs and why not OSX).

The site is http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dna/ I wish it was open source. Damn you MS.

God has problem with sin, not with science. Science is not a sin if it helps people, please read : Matthew 22. What you say here is not according to the word of the Bible and therefore sinister and sinful. What is impossible for humans, is possible for God. If it is possible for humans, then, be thankful to God.

The DNA computing framework for example.

I hope this time they support completely the VIA drivers. I have some motherboards with VIA chipsets and plan to buy some Nano ones.

I second your opininion. I use it for my pdf needs more and more. I use Sumatra only for local files. PDf.js is used for previewing or online documentation reading. Much more convenient than adobe.

It would be good if they released a Darwin LiveCD again or help people at puredarwin.

GPUs instead. I cannot understand their rush.

For me it would make more sense if they followed the MIPS64 path. But.. its their money.

yes yes yes

Why choose a damned paywall?

where is my RapsberyParallela?

Any for hardware standards? For example a GFX hardware interface? Any hope for an open GiGE like standard for cameras?
