1. Comment - Microsoft: Vista Apps Must be 'Cool'

   (Sep 20, 2006 - 9:05 AM)

   You are all saying that this is not any big deal. "No new Changes” You would all be complaining if there where lots of changes.
   
   For example, Imagine if MS said, "Ok, folks, you will need to by this new OS and it is not backward compatible. This is truly what MS needs to do. They need to start from the ground up and write a new OS. This however, is too risky for them. They have way to much invested to do this.
   
   Way back in the day when MS came out with windows 3.1(not sure right version number but this is about the time) they also came out with NT. NT was very powerful and had lots of New stuff and was Security conscious. No one wanted to but NT because it would not run on their machines. “Bill”, said to himself not a problem, keep developing NT and let’s slowly raise the bar on our windows line. This is what he did and when we got to Windows XP the two products where merged into one. This whole thing has caused the problem that MS has. Not cutting the cord. Apple has never been afraid to cut the cord.
   
   I could go on an on about how each of them has been smart and how each has been stupid. Your complaining really does not do much good. You as a normal person are not going to do much good, unless you decide to write your own code and make it easy for developers to write programs for this OS and then almost give it away.
