Microsoft Working On "Post-Windows" Cloud Computing OS 208

Barence writes "Microsoft is working on a web-based operating system called Midori, as it looks to life beyond Windows. Midori is expected to be a cloud-computing service, and so not as dependent on hardware as current generations of Windows. It's also expected to run with a virtualization layer between the hardware and the OS, and is expected to be a commercial offshoot of the Singularity research project which Microsoft has been working on since 2003." If this story sounds familiar to you, it probably is.

I think it would be in their best interests to rip off a BSD kernel (as they don't need to release the source). And they would probably port their APIs to BSD without Wine. I mean they have the source-code and a bazillion programmers, why release their most important aspect (the ability to run a gazillion programs) to their enemies.
