Midori is the code name for a managed code operating system being developed by Microsoft Research. It has been reported[1][2] to be a possible commercial implementation of the Singularity operating system, a research project started in 2003 to build a highly-dependable operating system in which the kernel, device drivers, and applications are all written in managed code. It was designed for concurrency, and can run a program spread across multiple nodes at once.[3] It also features an entirely new security model that sandboxes applications for increased security.[4] Microsoft has mapped out several possible migration paths from Windows to Midori (referred to as "Windows.Next").[5][6][7]
In a possible link to Microsoft’s Oslo composite application initiative, the programming model will have a dependence on metadata, with the aim of allowing the system to more reliably manage applications.[8] There is also a possibility that Midori is Internet-based.[9]
The code name Midori was first discovered through the PowerPoint presentation CHESS: A systematic testing tool for concurrent software.[10]
