It does not happen every day that news related to computer technology - news we report on every day - makes its way to the headline news programs and newspapers here in my home country, The Netherlands. So when it does, I am usually on the edge of my seat, simply because it offers an interesting glimpse into how 'normal' people perceive our little world. The last few days, however, that casual interest has made way for something else - tooth gnashing irritation.

When Linux breaks compatibility then it is a good thing. When Vista does it it is a bad thing. That is the world in the eys of OSS fanatics:)
IMO Microsoft should just plainly drop all backward compatibility bullcrap from Windows and make it a lightweight OS not ridden with all old crap. Then provide a solution like coherence using their virtual PC to run XP in the guest OS.
Slowly promote application vendors to write applications for the new OS and say RIP to XP.
