A World Beyond Windows: Midori Project

July 1st, 2008

Is this the time we should walk away from our beloved WinXP?

I am a huge fan of XP myself and find no interest at all in Vista. Apparently, Microsoft’s decision to discontinue XP has made me to rethink about the new OS that I may need to use in case I have to change it. Linux? Or MacOS?

Setting the debate aside, let’s think where our computer MS OS is heading to. The writer in this article describes a process where MS has been working on a new OS system, a microkernel-based system written as a managed code, under a project called Singularity. Midori Project, a derivative of Singularity, is a supposedly Microsoft new puppy to replace Windows in the future. However, we still dunno when or how this project is gonna turn out to be.

Imagine where your computer is window-less, how’s that gonna look like?

    Personally, I think it is a great idea to move away from Windows systems in the future. It´s a proven flawed platform.
    I never was a Windows fan, but as a die-hard video game player I never had a choice.
    Linux would obviously be the gamer´s dream-platform, but for some strange reason(or not depending on your stance about Microsoft, I´ll spare the conspiration theory rants), softwarehouses won´t favour the Linux systems, that are free and stable by nature. Their problem is that they´re not quite user-friendly as Windows systems. Ubuntu is obviously a nice attempt, but people still need to re-learn to use a computer.

    Whether it is free or by Microsoft, we need to move away from Windows. I just wonder about how future user-interfaces could be. Some decades ago, people would never imagine a window. Today we can´t use a computer without it…

    And Vista, well, I don´t have a Vista system, and I´m not interested in getting one soon. Not until all of this DRM crap is sorted out.
