Non-Windows Microsoft Operating System Midori

Over the years Windows has ruled the computer world. But now Microsoft plans to launch yet another high-tech operating system after Windows 2010. Operating systems like Windows XP and Windows Vista are widely used all over the world. But now it is high time to experience a new operating system. After Windows 2010, it has come up with cloud-based operating system. This operating system is known as MIDORI and it is expected that this even will replace Windows from the mind of computer users.

MIDORI is the brain child of Microsoft Research’s Singularity operating system. It is one of the futuristic operating system designed by Microsoft. This operating system is based on managed code and is expected to be highly componentized. This allows users to install what they feel is necessary for their application. MIDORI is a non Windows operating system therefore there are speculation whether Windows Application will run over it or not.

One of Microsoft’s goals is to provide options for Midori applications to co-exist with and interoperate with existing Windows applications, as well as to provide a migration path.  One way would involve having Midori run under Windows as a subsystem, with the OS acting as a device driver. Another approach involves running Windows alongside Midori, and the last alternative would be a standalone Midori implementation that could run traditional Windows applications.

MIDORI has been designed to run directly on native hardware (X64, X86 and ARM). It will be hosted on the Windows Hyper –V hypervisor or Windows process. MIDORI is Microsoft’s offshoot to its competitors who looking forward to ‘Virtualization” as means to solve issues of modern day computing. The main idea behind MIDORI is to develop a light weighted OP system which can be fused with lots of advanced applications.

As we cannot say the time when MIDORI will be officially announced by Microsoft, but this will surely make an impact similar or more radiant than that when Windows was launched in 1985.

Virtualization is becoming more and more popular and Microsoft will have to do something to keep up and stay on top (every PC purchased may not be pre-installed with Windows some day).

They may have started by building some hype
