and what happens to the programs written for the legacy code i.e. backward compatability

Well, emulation. OSX had a Classic Environment that allowed you to run pre-OSX programs. Unfortunately, it was discontinued with 10.5, but you get the idea. And I'm saying they should ditch the pre-XP/2k code. Most programs out today already have versions that run under that environment, and those that don't are horrendously outdated, with more modern counterparts.

Well, I wish MS would take the time to write a new OS that would be quick and awesome, rather than pushing out yet another version of its bloated, outdated OS. But then again, MS isn't really known for thinking of the customer.

For me, it's just speed mainly. Vista runs a lot slower than XP.

i don't like xp either anymore

it seems out dated
it has a different feel to it

as for speed i don't notice a difference

i hate vista machines but maybe its cause i use XP and jus need 2 get used 2 it idk

LOL. I never used vista but from what i heard its not a fun experience (i hope win7 is better :))

Maybe wee should all move over to ReactOS.
in vmware it turns on in about 3 seconds after bios
