What is this nonsense about the number of files slowing the system down? Surely seeking to a bunch of little libraries is slower than loading one file initially, but does it matter in the long run? Once you're up and running there should be practically no noticeable difference, right?<p>I can't imagine that the number of libraries is what's slowing Vista down... rather, it's just what those libraries are actually doing.
I call BS. The trouble Microsoft has had with Vista would be nothing compared to the trouble it would have if ALL applications had to be recompiled to work with Windows 7. The article cites no sources and doesn't offer any substantiation at all for its claims.
I have high hopes, but then again I had high hopes for Longhorn and Xbox 360 too...<p>Given MS's history of not giving high priority to reliability and quality, it's typically a good predictor of the future
