I was just reading an article in this weeks PC Week magazine about 
Microsoft's OS/2 3.0 (to be released Real Soon Now). It sounds like
they have pulled a few pages out of Mach's book for this one...

"...OS/2 3.0's core component is the Executive, a kernel that performs
memory management, process and thread management, and synchronization
between multiple processors.
 On top of the Executive is a set of protected subsystems that provide
the necessary services to run a mix of applications, including Windows,
OS/2 and POSIX programs."

OS/2 3.0 is designed to be mostly hardware independent for easy ports to
different machines.

Am I crazy or does this sound exactly like Mach?
