Microsoft Windows, I thought we would never see the end of the era. Microsoft’s newest operating system (OS), Vista might be more advanced than OS’s of the past but in many ways are still the same. According to released inner office documents from Microsoft, it looks like a new OS is in the works. This system is called, Midori.

Microsoft’s key word with their development of Midori is, virtualisation. Almost everything is virtualized these days. At most businesses, especially those that have to manage different computing devices, virtual machines are a god send. Instead of having to service a massive amount of servers on one single computer, the virtual servers could be accessed at any machine.

This idea being used for virtual servers, is what’s inspiring Microsoft’s Midori. They are trying to create a portable operating system that can access various apps on different machines.

Microsoft hasn’t commented on Midori, other than that they have confirmed it is a project they’re working on. As with most of their developments, Microsoft believes that Midori isn’t ready enough to begin commenting on
