Sounds like the entire Midori project only ran for 15, and iiuc it got all of that on top of a memory-safe kernel that was reinventing the language it was written in as the project was going.

Where can I buy that laptop running Midori?

Presumably MS has it in cold storage somewhere... Maybe it'll get open-sourced some day, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, I shouldn't have been so flippant. But seriously, M$ spent 15 years and 100 or so engineers 'breaking with the past' to create (whatever its virtues) a closed source system that at the end of the day they said 'meh' to and mothballed. So an OSS attempt probably should probably temper its expectations.
