Finally...
So finally, Microsoft is embedding the .net framework into windows.. of course I totally agree, I mean I wanted that (http://www.amreldib.com/2007/12/windows-7-what-it-rumored-to-have-and.html) to happen.
The managed code concept will really put the OS in charge of running all the applications and their security and other issues that are the problems with Windows.

Freeing themselves from the backward compatibility, I think that this is just a concept the developers are following while developing the base product. But Microsoft is not dump to ignore its own customers, Vista's biggest problem was the backward compatibility. I think that Microsoft is going to imped some kind of virtualization layer that ensure the backward compatibility with windows applications. Of course that will result in some issues for some applications that won't work on the new OS, but the total benefits are going to be worth it.

Finally, Microsoft is doing the right thing..
