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.

I don't think it is that... it's just that of all the operating systems to complain about regarding backward compatibility, picking on Windows is funny because the one thing that Windows has been doing for years is striving to provide backward compatibility. In fact, as someone mentioned above, it has created a monstrous system because of that, when they could trim a lot of fat and say "hey, either use XP for another 5 years (we'll provide service packs) or start fresh with Vista."
