Midori is the code name for a managed code operating system being developed by Microsoft Research. It has been reported[2][3] to be a possible commercial implementation of the Singularity operating system, a research project started in 2003 to build a highly-dependable operating system in which the kernel, device drivers, and applications are all written in managed code. It was designed for concurrency, and can run applications in multiple places.[4] It also features an entirely new security model that sandboxes applications for increased security.[5] Microsoft has mapped out several possible migration paths from Windows to Midori.[6] In a possible link to Microsoft’s Oslo composite application initiative, the programming model will have a dependence on metadata, with the aim of allowing the system to more reliably manage applications.[7]

The code name Midori was first discovered through the PowerPoint presentation CHESS: A systematic testing tool for concurrent software.[8]

Midori has also been rumoured by some IT journalists as a possible replacement to Microsoft Windows.[3]
