A great idea, and it's about time.

Thanks, Chad.

Yeah, this is exactly what MS need to be "Seen" to be doing. When a user
hits problems they need to see somebody cares, not a bunch of people
saying "It's your own fault because you ... " etc.

I sympathize somewhat with MS because Vista is entering a market that's
looking at avoiding wasting money and looking for alternatives, and
misbehaving with the life cycle of XP systems that folks are used to and
happy with - and hardware they have which will cost money to upgrade is
a problem they seem to want to create, instead they should avoid it even
if that means less forceful attempts to market Vista. Willing users are
far more likely to accept setup problems than folks who feel they have
been forced into adoption.

IMHO Vista II should be a whole new secure core (I mean secure not UAC
style user security) with everything else (Like your issue with media
player) quite independent.

Trying to maintain compatibility with Legacy should be nothing to do
with the core, instead a modular series of "Emulators" should be
designed, by then the hardware should be able to cope with it, so if you
want to play games on it you run them under something like a virtual
machine. This is light years ahead of my ability to design, but so is
most of the MS stuff they already have so I don't believe it would be
impossible to do.

I mean the current MS philosophy, including server versions etc, seems
to be to design and all singing all dancing system and then sell cut
down versions such as home basic. The work is already done so there's no
saving to MS really, simply a marketing exercise. What I suggest is more
or less a secure hardened VM without unnecessary bloat and a set of
brand new apps to run on it. Sure, it sounds a bit like Linux or BSD,
nothing wrong with that if it works. If there's been an error maybe XP
was made just too versatile and trying to improve on it from a usability
point of view is just diminishing returns.

Good points, Charlie. I agree.

Looking at things now, I really believe Microsoft should have just
started from scratch, like is hinted for Windows 7. With XP being
supported for several more years and many folks happy as can be
using it- Vista should have been what Windows 7 will probably be
or, just skipped it altogether until Microsoft could get it right, and make
something that really made folks go "Wow".

Good points from both of you Michael and Charlie. But you know all
irresitible forces in the equation from the hdw manufacturers of boxes and
peripherals that are salivating for a new MSFT OS every so many years not to
mention the pressure on Ballmer and the business end of the Windows platform
to make megabucks. In a really better world, what you suggested might have
happened.

That, unfortunately, really sums it all up, Chad.
