That's a winner for OEMs and other hardware distributors. Everyone seesm to want to run Home Premium and higher.

Doubt there is enough online infrastructure to really do anything with Midori.

Windows 8 work is definitely going on, I assure you. But it is so early to even mess with. I need a rest from builds anyway, except final rtm of Windows 7. LOL

Haha, only bug me when we have a version of W8 (just using Windows 8 as a referal because it is easy to say in conversation), that is visually different from Windows Vista/7.

That was my main wish for 7 was to be very prettyful.

Windows 8........Midori.........

May I add a little confusion to the confusion that already exists here? Windows 8 (obviously a windows program) is currently being developed to succeed Windows 7 at some future time. Midori is a "non-Windows" OS currently being developed. Whether Midori is being developed to replace the current stream of Windows OSs or to supplement, or "run alongside" of them is not clear at this point. At any rate, it is rumored (but not yet confirmed publicly by anyone at Microsoft qualified to confirm or disprove) that Midori will be designed specifically for efficient "cloud computing". But at any rate, Windows 8 development and Midori development are two TOTALLY separate projects at Microsoft and are not connected other than that they are both Microsoft projects. "Don't carry on no jive about Windows 8/Midori being the same project. There ain't no such thing!!!!"

That's my guess, and I'm stickin' to it.

I mean really, W7 isn't even out the door yet why would Microsoft already start on the next version of an unfinished product? lol

I have not seen any official news from MS about Midori. Any other sites reporting on it could be correct about it, could be false. Since MS will not confirm anything there is no way to be certain so people just believe what they want.

Midori could not even exist.
