Today Microsoft suddenly revealed extensive plans to advance in a quite unexpected direction creating a special division called #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD Optimization Lab (FOOL, in short).
One of the key goals of the new structure would be, I quote, "to introduce FreeBSD and OpenBSD users to advanced user experience available to Windows users", such as:
a) Kernel-level #Copilot integration, that enables, for example, intelligent control over booting process and better syscalls handling leveraging power of Microsoft Azure platform;
b) introducing proper "Blue screen of death". #BSD users are notoriously unfamiliar with such an important component of normal user experience - brace yourself, devil worshippers!
c) deprecating local user accounts: every BSD users knows that this age-old feature is just a relic of the past and part of huge technical debt. Now with Microsoft support they can finally get rid of it and enjoy having truly flexible and secure account system.
Those are just a few key goals of the new and bold initiative.
Surely, unexpected but, nevertheless, glad news for every BSD enjoyer out there.
