True. If sloppiness is good enough, it saves money and time...

(not really, but all that matters is the price on the sticker. So much for even ethics.)

When the day is said and done, I too prefer Vista and a lot of the incompatibility complaints are overrated; it's not that bad. But given their track record, especially post-2001, how bloaty will Windows 7 be, by its launch in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015... Horsepower is a wonderful thing, but having worked with computers since the days of 8-bit Atari, their next OS will require 4GB of RAM and will be 64-bit only, as there would be nothing left for the 32-bit version (architecture limitations). I can think of better reasons to migrate than to willfully bloat the current architecture to extinction...
