Universal interface table

On: Time for a Vista Do-Over?

"Create a universal interface table for all applications that can be written to by current software manufacturers. It should be small and light, and when you run the new OS, it should automatically collect what it needs from the Microsoft site or the primary vendor site. It would put most of the processing work on the original application and leave the OS safe to act as traffic cop without getting bogged down.

Does anyone have any idea what he's talking about here? I thought he was talking about making a smaller, cleaner API but then he starts talking about vendors "writing to it", "OS automatically collecting what it needs from the Microsoft site or primary vendor site", and "putting most of the processing work on the original application."
