future OSs: Microsoft Andromeda, Google Fuchsia+Magenta-Linux

What is Microsoft's AndromedaOS? | ZDNet
"It's worth noting AndromedaOS is not a Microsoft Research project. It isn't Microsoft's attempt to create a new operating system without any roots in Windows, as was "Midori" -- an operating system that Microsoft worked on for years as a skunkworks project and then dropped.
AndromedaOS, instead, is going to be the guts of Windows 10 as it moves ahead, according to my sources."
