Translated into English, does that mean it won’t be a bloated cow of an operating system like Vista?

Yes. It sounds pretty impressive from a technical standpoint.

“Yes. It sounds pretty impressive from a technical standpoint.”

OS/2 did all this stuff 20+ years ago - multitasking, multi-threading, Object Orientation, ... OS/2 was designed “from the ground up.” But with the media’s help, Gates was able to patch and modify his DOS shell (Windows) to convince users that it was a modern PC OS.
