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."
Keeping in true Windows tradition it will require a 12 terabit connection to your ISP.
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
Ohh, so after copying everything else from other operating systems now they're copying the UNIX server/client model?
"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"
And after only 13 years ... miraculous.
Perhaps now it's actually flying, they could finish up Duke Nukem Forever ?
'Stealing names'?
I would have thought that names are information, and information wants to be free.
And how can it be stealing unless you deprive the original owner of the name?
Nope, I haven't. I've used VPNs plenty to at least understand their issues from the user side. Anyway, a server on the LAN in this case does not involve VPN, which is intended for secure linkage over internet. If you're doing VPN, you're going to need another solution.
