Posted by Soulskill on from the creeping-in dept.

dp619 writes "Concepts outlined in Microsoft's internal 'Midori' OS documents are materializing in .NET, according to an SD Times report. Midori is a new operating system project that is designed for distributed concurrency. Microsoft has assigned some of its all-star programmers to the project, while recruiting others. It is also working on other projects to replace Windows that make the OS act more like a hypervisor."

    So in other words, a GUI interface with no real root access? If so, why is everyone trying to steal root from their users?
