Sorry mis-read that Trotter.
If any OS will be the ME version of OS's these days it will be Vista. *cries*
Can not belive i jsut admitted that. But it will be the truth. Vista was rushed in every way shape and form. Codename Longhorn could ont do what they wanted adn the things they wanted to do would not work with it. To add insult to injury they were not able to make many changes to teh GUI either. Seeing as Longhorn was almost a XP Clone.
Vista was independent of Longhorn and developed quickly. Usually Microsoft takes 2 or 3 years to do a OS. They did Vista in 18 months. Not really much time to perfect it. Just like ME was.
Windows 7 has been in development since Nov of 06 already. Now that is more time spent on Windows 7 now than was spent on Vista. So you can bet that Windows 7 will be prime, prepped and ready to go when it gets released and everyone will be happy with the improvement over XP.
Just look at it this way. Vista took 18 months from Beta to release. It has already been 18 months and they have not even hit Beta yet. Much more time is being put into development of this OS. Even if they dont go with the MinWin, as it seems to be that they are not, they will refine and reduce the current Kernel to work that much better.
Yes Forrest i am agreeing with you. They are not gonna use MinWin. More and more info about this is hitting the Microsoft sources i have and they have told me such. So i am aorry for disagreeign with you previously on this. You were right i was wrong.
