Microsoft almost ditched Windows' spaghetti architecture for a cloud-based OS but mysteriously sent it to an early grave
-
Microsoft had developed a new 'Midori' OS that would potentially replace Windows.. it doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.

Until the year of linux comes... :-D
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Unless I'm badly mis-remembering what I read on Joe's blog years ago that article seems a bit off based. I don't recall anything cloud specific in what he wrote about. It was about trying to rewrite large parts of the OS guts in .net. There were some (performance?) issues they never managed to get resolved in the project; although a number of changes they made in their custom fork of the .net runtime were eventually either ported into the framework or what became core.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Are you describing Singularity?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
