Microsoft has kicked off a research project to create software that will take over when it retires Windows.Called Midori, the cut-down operating system is radically different to Microsoft's older programs.It is centred on the internet and does away with the dependencies that tie Windows to a single PC.It is seen as Microsoft's answer to rivals' use of "virtualisation" as a way to solve many of the problems of modern-day computing.

Although Midori has been heard about before now, more details have now been published by Software Development Times after viewing internal Microsoft documents describing the technology.

Midori is believed to be under development because Windows is unlikely to be able to cope with the pace of change in future technology and the way people use it. More at; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7540282.stm

I heard Microsoft is implementing something called the "technological singularity" inside Midori.
