I don't know as much as I'd like, but that sounds like they are doing a message-based system, or at least using a metaphor to that effect. That doesn't sound too much like un+x. I didn't see in the article that the new DOS was being supplied by Microsoft, or particularly, non-proprietary. They also seem to imply that the DOS has "dynamic linking." Other whiz-bang features described at the end of the article "sound real neat." So is this all MS-DOS I.J? or what.
