Microsoft Windows’ future appears to lie in the cloud, with details emerging about a possible new web-based operating system from Redmond, called ‘Midori’.
This software will be based on internet. It will be very small in size that its user can carry it to another place. Its user then can use this OS in another place or hardware.The system is forecast to be a cloud computing service, making it less reliant on a specific piece of hardware than existing versions of Windows.The success of Midori will be based largely on hardware vendors. The main issue is whether the new system will be supported by the hardware on which it has to run.Such an approach would free up people to use the OS to access information and services on a wide range of mobile and desktop devices.
The system reportedly will run a virtualisation layer between hardware and the OS and is expected to be a commercial offshoot of the Singularity research project.Microsoft is refusing to comment on the new OS, saying Midori is one of many incubation projects it has underway.
I think Microsoft is thinking to adopt the Macintosh pattern. The main concern will be the security issues of the software. This type of system will be more of mobile nature and may posses more security risk as compare to windows.
