My point really is that we don't need Vista. Microsoft really aught to quit gold-digging and make what they have work.
The opposite is one of my criticisms of Vista. Microsoft didn't need Vista, they needed something better. The NT architecture is very outdated and in need of replacement, not overhaul or attempts to make it "work." Can you imagine what OS X would be like today if Apple had just tried to improve OS 9 instead of replacing it?
