You clearly don't know much about what makes an operating system stable... Stability depends partly on how much error checking the compiler is capable of doing, partly on how people write software (design) and partly on how well the operating system is designed to separate processes and different parts from each other. Singulary addresses all of these issues: Its mainly writen in a "safe" language which is strongly typed and does lots of compiletime check and it is a microkernel operating system which (at least in theory) prevents your cheezy usb webcam driver from crashing the kernel. Most other unix wannabe systems are writen in the ancient language C :), and run monolithic kernels.

But singularity isn't all new, it just implements old ideas: Occam and QNX!

But in my opinion, Singularity just might be the most interessting os to emerge in the last years. It will be interesting to see how long it will take the free software world to come up with something similar :) (btw, I am a long term happy gnu/linux user, and have no plan of switching...)
