Microsoft was planning to replace Windows with a cloud-based OS called Midori

Videos of a confidential Microsoft meeting from 2013 have been leaked by X user WalkingCat, revealing many previously unknown details about the long-dead Midori project. Starting in 2008 and officially meeting its end in 2015, the Midori project was tasked with developing new innovations throughout Microsoft’s software stack. This included the programming language, the operating system, the browser, applications, and more.
