Midori, like any other project, has things to do today that are important, but by the time I get there the list will certainly have changed. You all know about my technical background, and beyond that it doesn't seem appropriate to speculate. I *can* confirm that I will not be personally responsible for watering the lawn on the Microsoft Redmond campus (or at least, not initially). I can also say that Microsoft did not hire Trevor (our Border Collie mix) for that job. I have no comment about the rumors that Google is planning to hire Trevor to water Microsoft's lawn, except to note that Brian Bershad's dog isn't getting any younger. There are two things that I feel I can say without breaking any confidences. The first is that Midori seems like a serious effort, and it has some incredibly talented people working on it. I wouldn't be joining otherwise. The second is that Midori is an incubator effort. What impact the project will ultimately have is something that will only become known the hard way: build it and find out. A bit of web searching will get you a partial list of the people involved, and they are pretty impressive folks. But there are a great many things that go into a viable OS effort that are entirely non-technical. Jonathan
