@...reboot: Yeah, I agree… If developers were still writing games without XP apis, I’d still be runng W2k…

@...ColombianMonkey:
I dunno about that. If memory serves, Vista’s internal rev number is actually only 3 or 4 revs above XP, and carries around a vast majority of it’s bloat. There were some minor internal speed, security and architecture optimizations performed, but beyond that, I think precious little was done to the kernel. It was primarily all additional bells and whistles.

I think Windows 7 will have more in common with W2K than Vista…

@...ColombianMonkey: LOL From W2k on, they have all been big fat service packs… Nothing new there… Look at the OS version the kernel reports, they don’t lie. You can see how many steps they take with each new version, and they aren’t changing a heck of a lot…

They could technically have just stuck with W2K, and made improvements, but there’s no money in that… :/
