Windows Is Dead – Long Live Midori?

parvenu74 writes "A story from Infoworld is suggesting that the days of Windows are numbered and that Microsoft is preparing a web-based operating system code-named Midori as a successor. Midori is reported to be an offshoot of Microsoft Research's Singularity OS, an all-managed code microkernel OS which leverages a technology called software isolated processes (SIPs) to overcome the traditional inter-thread communications issues of microkernel OSes."

These jokes are getting old and redundant. My Windows XP has not crashed a single time in months

I'd have modded that "funny", it made me laugh! I read it as "Windows only crashes every few months!"

Mine crashed repeatedly, while its Linux partition was rock solid. Now the computer itself is like a rock - the power supply had been going out, causing the crashes. I'm using an old box I dragged out of the basement until I get the energy to replace the power supply.

I think the spelling has confused you -
We're discussing M$ Mi-DOH!-ri.

Inside sources say the most compelling feature is that the BSOD has been replaced by that bouncing ball toy you get when uploading files to SkyDrive.

Laws only get you so far:

And that's just stuff people have bothered throwing up on attrition.org.
