Mary Jo Foley: My post about

To those of you
who sent me notes speculating/wondering whether Microsoft’s Midori might be a derivative of the
Midori Linux effort and/or the
Midori lightweight Web browser project, I’ll reiterate that I
don’t believe these other Midori projects have anything to do with Microsoft’s Midori.

07.07.2008Microsoft taking a sip of Midori
Ina Fried: Yes, Microsoft is pursuing a different type of operating system, which goes by the name of Midori. And, no, it's not the next version of
Windows.
The Midori subject has gotten a great deal of attention in recent days, with the fires only fanned by the fact that
Microsoft has refused to say anything about Midori beyond confirming that it is an "incubation project" within the company. ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley
noted its existence in her Microsoft 2.0 book, while more recently SDTimes
posted a bunch of details on Midori based on internal documents.
From
there, there has been plenty of speculation about what Midori is and isn't.
Here's what I've been able to confirm...

05.08.2008Microsoft sees end of Windows era
Microsoft has kicked off a research project to create software that will take over when it retires Windows. Called Midori, the cut-down operating
system is radically different to Microsoft's older programs. It is centred on the internet and does away with the dependencies that tie Windows to
a single PC. It is seen as Microsoft's answer to rivals' use of "virtualisation" as a way to solve many of the problems of modern-day
computing.
Although Midori has been heard about before now, more details have now been published by Software Development Times after
viewing internal Microsoft documents describing the technology. Midori is believed to be under development because Windows is unlikely to be able to
cope with the pace of change in future technology and the way people use it.

05.08.2008Microsoft's Midori to sandbox apps for increased security

architecture.
SD Times has viewed internal Microsoft documents that detail Midoris security proposition. The highlights include
memory safety and type safety, and a least-privileged mode. As well, hardware support may enable a secure boot mechanism and a remote chain of trust
on top of secure booting.

05.08.2008Goodbye, XP. Hello, Midori
June 30 is
the day that Microsoft begins phasing out Windows XP by no longer providing copies
of the operating system to PC makers and retailers for preloading on new machines. It’s also a good day (thanks to a recent New York Times
opinion piece) to start looking ahead to what comes next after Windows.
That answer could be Softie Eric Rudder’s
mysterious “Midori” project.

29.07.2008Microsoft, researchers release new operating system project: Barrelfish
You've likely heard of Microsoft's next-gen operating system projects
Midori and
Singularity, but earlier this month researchers released a prototype for another OS,
code-named
Barrelfish. Barrelfish is an OS written specifically for multicore environments. It hopes to
improve the performance of boxes with such chips by creating a network bus, if you will, between cores. Today such systems tend to share resources
like memory. As demand increases, performance of the box decreases as shared resources don't scale well. Barrelfish instead passes messages between
cores on its bus, and reportedly uses a database-like approach to keep track of the hardware available.
