It is being reported that Microsoft maybe building an Internet centric non-Windows Operating System. This operating system will eliminate the dependance on hardware as is the case with the present day operating systems. An incubator project codenamed “Midori” is being headed by Eric Rudder, senior VP for Technical Strategy at Microsoft.

According to a report in Software Development Times, Midori is an Internet-centric OS, based on the idea of connected systems that largely eliminates the dependencies between local applications and the hardware they run on, unlike the present-day operating systems.
