6.8.2008 Microsoft Midori, a Candidate for the Operating System to Kill Windows
Although speculations do exist pointing that Microsoft is in the "right direction" as far as the next releases of its proprietary operating system are concerned, the fact of the matter is that Windows 7 and Windows 8 will not diverge from the Windows path in the foreseeable future.

Windows Internet Explorer 7 DOWNLOAD
Few days ago at RSA, Bill Gates talked about Internet Explorer 7. As the guy responsible for IE, I wanted to say a couple of things about it.
First, some basics: we’re committing to deliver a new version of Internet Explorer for Windows XP customers. Betas of IE7 will be available this summer. This new release will build on the work we did in Windows XP SP2 and (among other things) go further to defend users from phishing as well as deceptive or malicious software.

16.5.2009Might Microsofts Midori be ˜Cairo revisited?
Mary Jo Foley: My post about
Microsoft’s post-Windows operating system, code-named
“Midori,” elicited some interesting responses and a few potential new clues over the past week.
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.

05.08.2008Goodbye, 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.

30.06.2008Microsoft's Midori to sandbox apps for increased security
Security is a watchword for Midori, the operating system that Microsoft is incubating in hopes of freeing itself from its legacy Windows software
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.

07.04.2009Microsoft's plans for post-Windows OS revealed
Microsoft is incubating a componentized non-Windows operating system known as Midori, which is being architected from the ground up to tackle
challenges that Redmond has determined cannot be met by simply evolving its existing technology.
SD Times has viewed internal
Microsoft documents that outline Midoris proposed design, which is Internet-centric and predicated on the prevalence of connected systems.

29.07.2008Microsoft maps out migration from Windows
At the risk of undercutting one of its core product lines, Microsoft is carefully conceptualizing a way to move millions of users away from the
existing Windows codebase and onto Midori, a legacy-free operating system that it is currently incubating in its skunk works.
SD Times has viewed internal Microsoft documents that reveal the companys preference of an orderly replacement strategy rather than breaking
sharply with its past.

31.07.2008Is the Microkernel Making a Slow Return to Microsoft?

10.02.2009Windows 7 beta download imminent?
Microsoft have updated their Windows 7 site with a download link for the Windows 7 beta. It would appear from the posting that Microsoft is currently
readying site updates and download servers for the imminent release of the Windows 7 beta. Yesterday, German site Winfuture claimed that the beta
would be released today and this could confirm the sites claims. The download link is currently inaccessible. It's entirely possible that once
the page is live it will simply be a sign up page to register your interest. Microsoft will not comment on the exact date and a Microsoft official
confirmed the beta is still targetted for early 2009.
