Microsoft Preparing Windows Replacement
Long-time readers of this blog (you know, all 3 of you) know how I feel about Vista. Take that out of the picture for a moment and think about Windows. Not XP, 2000, ME or any other version, but just Windows. Now, are you ready to say goodbye to it? Microsoft is. In fact, it’s already preparing its replacement.
Microsoft seems to be preparing for that day with an incubation project code-named Midori.
That report paints Midori as an Internet-centric OS, based on the idea of connected systems, that largely eliminates the dependencies between local applications and the hardware they run on that exist with a typical OS today.
It’s too early to say how this will all work, but virtualization is tied to it, so somewhere in there we’re going to have host-guest relationships, which is something that most consumers have very little experience with. Are you prepared to have your OS online? It’s tough to imagine at this point.
