Midori is an offshoot of Microsoft Research’s Singularity operating system, the tools and libraries of which are completely managed code. Midori is designed to run directly on native hardware (x86, x64 and ARM), be hosted on the Windows Hyper-V hypervisor, or even be hosted by a Windows process. According to published reports, Eric Rudder, senior vice president for technical strategy at Microsoft and an alumnus of Bill Gates' technical staff, is heading up the effort. Rudder served as senior vice president of Microsoft’s Servers and Tools group until 2005. A Microsoft spokesperson refused comment.

Let users know who’s following them – so obvious that it shouldn’t need mentioning

You’re already getting those countless emails. How could your system send fewer and still be effective? GetSatisfaction sends one update per day, Dopplr send one a week.
Bonus points: Make a distinction between reciprocal followers, like Flickr: “Yay! grex has marked you as a contact too.” vs. “If you don’t know grex, grex is probably a fan of your photos …”
