Windows 8 Codename Midori and Windows 9!

[Izlude]

Wow I remember Midori. Supposed to be 100% cloud computing. They're not even going to call it Windows. I remember reading about it a few months back though. I still don't understand what cloud computing is. Can anyone explain how a home user would... interact with it?

Midori is such a porn name. :D

Midori is a common woman name in Japan, its also means "green".

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.

Actually, MS alraedy made one in C# HOWEVER the loader is completely written in Assembly and C, the kernel though is completely managed C#... not sure how they did it, but they did...they have MSDN demos on it somewhere

I am already testing Windows 69 on my rig. It uses 30 Gigs of RAM and requires 4 Nvidia cards to run

Seriously...This is BS. They are not even done with Windows 7 yet and people are already starting to make stories. Windows 8, 9,10 and so on is faaaaaaaaaaaaar away.

Guess what, i think it's true.

In 3 years you will see.

Believe me, Windows 7 is almost done. You are NOT going to see any big changes. I'm using it right now.

Paul Thurrott also agrees with me "I expect Windows 7 to be finalized by April 2009 at the latest" - that's in 4 months.

And you are using Windows 69? That's so last minute! I already used Windows 98 and it's blazing fast! lol

My prediction is that Windows 8 or 9 will be based on the UNIX kernal in some way if not on their Server platform.

*Don't be hating I don't own a mac although I'm considering one and I love Vista :laugh: .*
