This morning, we could read a big header, «And Microsoft killed Windows», on the front page of the technology section of a online newspaper, «El confidencial«. You can read the new here:

Are the rumors of a new Microsoft operating system code-named «Midori» developed from scratch killing Windows? I think that it isn’t. Microsoft has developing some research operating systems from some years.
A example is Singularity (http://www.codeplex.com/singularity), some features are very similar.
Both are based on no-native-code applications. But this could finish in monopoly complaints. But I think… Isn’t Apple doing the same with his iPhone? I think so… Because, if you want to develop an iPhone application, you’ve to use his SDK… I think that it’s the same.
What do you think about? Is the Windows death? Only a research more? Or what?
Well Eugenio,
I think that it’s normal Microsoft develops a new OS just not realted to the old way, but totally in the direction of the S+ S direction that Microsoft is taking lately. Sincerely, I think that we will have a OS hosted in the cloud following the same concept that Amazon already has.
Cheers
