How Microsoft Plans To Get Its Groove Back With Win7
shawnz tips a blog post up at thebetaguy that details Windows 7's huge departure from the past, and the bold strategy Microsoft will be employing to maintain backward compatibility. Hint: Apple did it seven years back. There are interesting anti-trust implications too. "Windows 7 takes a different approach to the componentization and backwards compatibility issues; in short, it doesn't think about them at all. Windows 7 will be a from-the-ground-up packaging of the Windows codebase; partially source, but not binary compatible with previous versions of Windows."
It's amazing how they keep trotting out the integration lie about IE. The US Federal Government did not spank Microsoft because they made a better browser and tied it to their file manager, they spanked them for screwing Netscape in every orifice by creating problems for them. Anyone who does not understand that is either confused or lying.
No calls now, I'm
