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.

"Most people don't do HD video editing though."
If you total up the number of people who "don't do <insert activity here>" it eventually equals 100%. i.e. there are enough edge cases that they all need to be accounted for when it comes to making new software releases maintain backwards compatibility. You can't just say "Sorry HD guys, we're screwing you" or "hey, musicians...we gotta break compatibility with this release."

That would be true...apart from the fact that the majority of users want to write the odd document; use the internet; read their email and nothing else.
Now if your talking about about large companies; or rare users specialist applications thats a different matter.
Look at me with my pro-vista comment, and I didn't even have to lie.

Most people don't do HD video editing though.
