We have learnt quite a lot about Windows 7 this week, and one of the things was that Windows 7 would not get a new kernel. The call for a new kernel has been made a few times on the internet, but anyone with a bit more insight into Windows' kernel knows that there is absolutely no need to write a new kernel for Windows - the problems with Windows lie in userland, not kernelland. While the authenticity of the Shipping Seven blog is not undisputed, the blogger makes some very excellent points regarding the kernel matter.

Yes, I agree with Tomcat.... hmmm did I just say that ?
I mean, I agree with Tomcat, that, no matter how heated the discussion, he never makes it personal.
However, I also disagree with the original poster. I support over 600 manchines at work, using a mix of 2k, xp and Vista.
They are a mixture of Dell, HP and Lenovo machines.
They will blue screen occasionally.
We have them all locked down so the users cannot install software, use USB drives, run from CD, they are not connected to the internet, and the applications are MS Office, Notes and Seibel.
They still blue screen.
Standard hardware, standard installs, NO spyware/virus/trojans and still they die.

Are you, Tomcat, presuming to give me a lecture on the value of tact and diplomacy? That's quite remarkable.
