Windows 7: Services Instead of Subsystems?

Linked by Adam S on Tue 23rd Sep 2008 14:50 UTC

According to Microsoft beat writer Mary Jo Foley, word is that "Windows 7's mail, photo-management and movie-maker subsystems applets are all being replaced by optionally installable Windows Live equivalents." To many, replacing subsystems with services is a good thing. But what will the self-professed geeks think? Cnet seems to think that "Windows 7 must appeal to geeks--or else!"

I think it's just a use of the wrong word by the journalists. It's hard to call the Photogallery a 'Subsystem' with a straight face. It's just a program.
