That’s no small accomplishment, and it probably is useful in some specialty applications, but I’d personally just rather they rewrote windows to make it smaller and faster. They could stay with a 3.1 looking interface for all I care, and I think that most people would agree. If this is just another bloated layer atop Vista, they’re killing themselves.
Yup. Microsoft has to get with the “small is beautiful” thing. I want an operating system that will do a heck of a lot less, with a heck of a lot less resources, which can run off of a non-writable media, so it reloads fresh every time.
I had a boss with the sign:
Faster, cheaper, better - pick any two.
Microsoft could build a system with any one of those improvements and still be better than today.
