Vista is all the rage at the moment (and now even the Sunday Eve Column is about it). I don't think there's a single piece of beta software that has ever been discussed as much as Windows Vista. Obviously this makes sense, since Windows powers roughly 95% of the world's desktop computers; hence an update to that system will surely spark some heavy debates. Personally, I'm indifferent towards Vista. Read on for why.

There are lots of new OSs being developed in research. There is no reason to believe that any more willc ome out of Singularity than has come out of all the other research OSs that have preceded it. The only reason Microsoft exists today is because of backwards compatibility. Without the enormous market advantages of application compatibility, Microsoft never would've made it through the 1990s. Without application compatibility, Microsoft is nothing, and they know that. They'll never field an OS that isn't compatibile with the vast body of Windows software that exists.
