Microsoft is working on a new operating system to follow the retirement of Windows. The operating system, codenamed Midori, is being developed to compete with the use of virtualisation in rival operating systems.
According to website Software Development Times - which claims to have seen blueprints of Midori - it is an offshoot of Microsoft's Singularity operating system. The website reckons Microsoft is building the system from the "ground up" - underscoring how much computing has changed since Windows was originally developed.
Midori will have provisions for cloud computing, where application components exist remotely in data centres. For the operating system to perform effectively, Microsoft will have to overcome many programming hurdles, such as developing a model that can tolerate interruptions to a PC's connection to the web."In this scenario, you establish Midori not so much as a replacement for Windows, but as the hub of a new type of distributed system which Windows machines connect into until they are no longer needed," Jeffrey Hammond, senior analyst at Forrester Research told the SD Times.

It will still be 5hit & need about 85 hotfixes and at least 2 service packs before it works properly.
But at least like all other windows versions it will be un-crackable.
that's probaly right... I just hope it'll be crackable
let MS release wt ever they want...there are always guys to hack tht...so, no probs... ;)
I don't know about cloud computing but M$ are in cloud Cuckoo land.
Midori? why doesn't M$ stick with Windows something... better name for an OS, and it makes sense, IMO.
MS is good for XP, 2000, 2003,
all this new things Midori, 7 and rubbish Vista is like monkey do the kaka on clean tablecloth. is still some parts usable but smells very bad for long time.
Midori is drink, no? why they not sue MS? maybe MS buys them too with vista money?
thank you for news Maxwell288
you're welcome leechgirl :)
:)
and another piece of coded crap from MeSS ! why don't they stick to the good stuff that works like XP and server?
Their 'orbit' logo says it all, their heads are spinning and getting dizzy from beating off.
