Microsoft: For Windows or MIDORI in the future!!!
Monday, 06 July 2009 13:02
WINDOWS was first launched to the public in November 1985. Since then the word “Windows” bring the Microsoft Corporation to our mind!
With many advanced versions of Windows is certainly the most used operating system. With Windows 2007 to be released very soon, there is another interesting competitor to Windows 2007 from Microsoft itself!
MICROSOFT is working on a new generation of operating systems called managed-mode Cloud-Based Operating System named Midori. The difference between managed mode and unmanaged mode is that unmanaged code is executed directly by the CPU whereas managed mode is a computer program code that executes under the management of a virtual machine! Microsoft is working to build a highly-dependable operating system in which the kernel, device drivers, and applications are all written in managed code.
Midori’s proposed design is Internet-centric and provides an overall “connectedness” between applications and devices. Midori is being built for single systems as well as distributed systems.
MIDORI is an offshoot of Microsoft Research’s Singularity operating system. MIDORI is designed to run directly on native hardware (x86, x64 and ARM), will be hosted on the Windows Hyper-V hypervisor, or even be hosted by a Windows process. The main idea behind MIDORI is to develop a lightweight portable OS which can be mated easily to lots of various applications.
IMPORTANCE OF MIDORI
Present day operating systems are tightly coupled with the hardware. Hence the mobility factor is very much affected and also newer applications fail to work on older hardware. Due to this trend installing different applications on a single computer may led to different compatibility issues whenever the machine require updating. Midori theoretically brings in the Virtualization effect! This will solve problems such as widespread security vulnerabilities, unexpected interactions among different applications, failures caused by errant extensions, plug-ins, and drivers and many more.
