End of MS Windows

[Demon_Skeith]

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.

I don't know very much about it, but I bet it will serve as their backup if they unable to continue the Windows operating systems product line.

Hopefully, it won't be as virus/hack susceptible as Windows.

Sounds promising, but I think it be horrible to use if your on dial-up.
