Ok, first off, I wonder what Microsoft intends for this piece of work and why is the closed source empire posting it to codeplex? Will this become the underpinnings for some future version of Windows?

Microsoft appears to have been working on this since 2005, at least and a major new release of it was posted this month.

I'm sure we could all spin lots of X-Files theories on this one. But, I'm going to forgo coming up with any for now. I'll take the look and see (with concern) view on this one for now.
