Windows The Windows 7 craze is barely over, and yet the internet is already buzzing with the next big thing from Microsoft: a project called Midori. The SD Times claims to have seen internal Microsoft documents detailing what Midori actually is, and they say it's the clean-break from Windows many of us have been waiting for. The SD Times article is heavy on the details, and quite technical, but luckily Ars Technica provides a more accessible summary of what Microsoft has in store for Midori.

in 10 years (when midori is actually shipping), nobody is going to be using c++ for anything other then very old legacy systems, like the way fortran is still around now.

I read a similar comment 10 years ago and C and C++ are still the base of today's computing.... including Midori will have a part (though very small) written in C and Assembler.
