Interesting catch. By sifting through their documentation this project seems to be very interesting. (Post a link in lkml? Nothing beats - beating Microsoft to the punch... :)) Never the less, being Microsoft, I doubt that this project will ever see the light of day... They are talking about code isolation and preventing code manipulation, while their framework devision has designed the hideous .NET framework that forces people to dynamically generate code just to read raw (?!?!) TCP (!!!) traffic. (The application devs around me use it to connect to the Linux part of the world...)
