Midori (operating system)
- Midori is the code name for a managed codeoperating system being developed by Microsoft Research.
- It has been reported to be a possible commercial implementation of the Singularity operating system, a research project started in 2003 to build a highly-dependable operating system in which the kernel, device drivers, and applications are all written in managed code.
- It was designed for concurrency, and can run a program spread across multiple nodes at once.
- It also features an entirely new security model that sandboxes applications for increased security.
- Microsoft has mapped out several possible migration paths from Windows to Midori.
- In a possible link to Microsoft’s Oslo composite application initiative, the programming model will have a dependence on metadata, with the aim of allowing the system to more reliably manage applications.
- There is also a possibility that Midori is internet-based.
- The code name Midori was first discovered through the PowerPoint presentation CHESS: A systematic testing tool for concurrent software.
COMPANY NAME : MICROSOFT CORPORATION
WORKING STAGE : CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT
KERNEL TYPE : MICRO KERNEL(LANGUAGE-BASED)
SUPPORTED PLATFORM : IA-32, x86-64, ARM
- According to a report, Microsoft isn't just looking at the next version of Windows (no, not Mojave) for future OS possibilities, but is looking beyond the Windows architecture altogether with a project known as Midori.
- The new OS is still in the "incubation" phase (which puts it slightly closer to market than R&D projects), but Microsoft has admitted to its existence, and the Software Daily Times says at least one team in Redmond is actively working on the new architecture
