Midori, the operating system whose development he is retrospectively blogging about, began sometime around 2003: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(operating_system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(operating_system) and the name was leaked in 2007.
- nickysielicki 11y agoThat Wikipedia article says that Midori is based off "Singularity", and that Singularity started in 2003. It says that this more recent project with a name of Midori was a recreation / continuation of that, and only took the name in 2012, still 5 years after the browser.
- cfcef 11y agoIt does not say it only took the name in 2012, it implies that it was named Midori by November 2007 when the name leaked, and if you are doubtful, you can check Google Books and find multiple published mentions of the MS Midori OS in books all dating to 2008 attributing it to other sources, such as a September 2008 article on Midori: https://redmondmag.com/Articles/2008/09/01/Will-Microsoft-Take-a-Sip-of-Midori.aspx https://redmondmag.com/Articles/2008/09/01/Will-Microsoft-Ta... in which there is no mention of it having been renamed recently. Since the web browser was first released in December 2007 according to WP and was extremely obscure, it is entirely probable that the OS was named either before or in total ignorance of the browser, and you are being a paranoid ass.
- kuschku 11y agoI read an article in 2007 about it being called Midori. It was long before the browser.
