I read that the next windows under developement so far is using the same Kernel like Vista. Which makes the new Windows a no-go-zone for me as well. Incompetent dilletantic (and deaf) designers at work, it seems.

How stupid do they think people are?

now the top 12 list of how it should be done:

stable
reliable
safe
fast
as small as possible
specs as low as possible (does MS know that "low" means the opposite of "high"?)
no eyecandy at the cost of increasing specs
no penetrative "anti piracy" digital control DMR wonder super fantasy routines
no premature release
no release of features that do not work trustworthy
no splitting up into half a dozen of different versions
compatible

In other words: KEEP IT SIMPLE.

an OS is not the star of computer activity, it is not more than the empty screen on which the movie/the star is being projected. the less oyu see of an OS, and the less ressources it consumes, the better. You go into a cinema to see the movie - not to admire the white screen. the most noble duty of the white empty screen is to be white, and empty.


I am a realist, and so I don't hold my breath for Microsoft learning these simple lessons.
