Microsoft is believed to be developing an internet-oriented operating system to keep up with the pace of change in technology and the way people use it.
The system, codenamed Midori, is reported to take a completely different approach to the Windows-style model of software running entirely on a user’s computer. Industry rumours suggest the platform could emerge as a potential replacement for Windows as it eliminates the reliance on a single PC.
It is claimed that the rationale behind the project is centred around rivals’ work in virtualisation and the fact that Windows, a significant source of income of Microsoft, is falling behind in terms of mobile connectivity and multi-device data processing.
The software giant told the BBC that Midori is “one of many incubation projects underway at Microsoft. It’s simply a matter of being too early in the incubation to talk about it.”
