Microsoft sees end of Windows era
Microsoft has kicked off a research project to create software that will take over when it retires Windows.
Called Midori, the cut-down operating system is radically different to Microsoft's older programs.
It is centred on the internet and does away with the dependencies that tie Windows to a single PC.

"If Windows ends up being less important over time as applications become more OS agnostic where will Microsoft make its money?" he asked.
M$ has been wanting to move more toward "services" for a very long time. Selling services is a more stable way to earn a constant and dependable income than selling licenses to software. It would allow M$ to charge for the same service over and over, much like utility companies do today instead of charging once for a particular software product...
