The Midori and Singularity proyects are just academical proyects to
gain reputation on universities and promote the .net framework.
What is really happenning is that Microsoft is planning to replace
the win32 subsystem with a .net like subsystem.

The next step is to prepare the kernel for SIMD architectures and
in this step they are planning to make a microkernel based on the
current HAL and microkernel (the code currently responsible of
managing the CPU).

The win32k is coming back to userland, directly to the .net like
subsystem.
Wanna know more about the security model they're planning or you
prefer to read articles in wikipedia?

Hello,

Are you talking about the Midori [1]/Singularity [2] project that
started in 2003? Or is there anything new?
