Operating systems by Microsoft


Midori (operating system)



  • 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.

  • 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
