Exclusive:

I come to know by one source that Microsoft already working on the successor of Windows 7, or the successor and the successor of Windows 7 (Windows 8 and Windows 9).

The Project is the name Midori "Windows Codename Midori." This is aimed to rebuild entirely Windows, it will be goodbye to NT kernel? This will not be programmed in C / C + + code but in mixed as C #, F #, etc

think this guy might have had too many midori sour's!

BS. It is not possible to build an O/S kernel using interpreted code in a language such as C# or F#. Complete and utter fake.

Heres a source for ya.

Search around there for a bit of just google it. Its definetely not certain its the sucessor or the successors successor, but there does seem to be some actual rumour about Midori.

Keyword:"rumor" If you go to http://www.microsoft.com/ and search "Midori" then you won't come up with Windows 8 and 9.

Yeah it's littearly impossible, because at some point you need a machine code level interperter... which almost always has a machine level kernel... even MS's internal demo managed kernel has a native code kernel under it

That source seems fake.Windows 7 is still on planning stages,how come they announce Windows 8 and 9 when,Windows 7 has no complete concept outlined?

Windows NT Kernel is amazing despite what people say about windows,it has evolved in a mature,very adaptable code platform.

Rebuilding from scratch will bring again highly costs to all the industry to adapt,it could be close to a disaster.

Windows 7 is well beyond the planning stages. Development is well on it's way, as a matter of fact, expect to see a beta before the end of the year.

And as for the validity of this information, it's complete BS. The NT kernel isn't going anywhere any time soon. And if they did rewrite windows from the ground up, it sure as hell wouldn't be managed code.

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
