Midori, just like "Chicago" is just a technology pile.

The true plan is to convert everyone to C#, by forcing winrt, then they are free to exchange the core to what they like - since its only them who will be controlling it. The whole userspace will be running using basic-level applications. Ideal blackbox.

Or you expected anything "interesting"?

ah I was actually wrong. Actually it uses SING# . This language is based on SPEC# and not on C#, nothing to worry about

The base of Midori (not the browser) is Sinularity, which is available as Open Source: http://singularity.codeplex.com/
