That's not completely true.
The Vista code is based off of Windows Server 2003 SP1. A lot of the new features and components are indeed written from scratch, and a lot of changes to make the OS more modularized, but they didn't rewrite from scratch. There will still be much legacy support.

Actually, "Matt spells better than me" is right. Go ask some english experts.
Well then, don't I look like an idiot. You are right, I was thinking about the old default theme. There are actually people that like it.
Plastik is much better, though I think ClearLooks for GNOME is probably the best theme I've seen for X.
While I agree the current Vista Beta1 theme isn't too great.... Plastik?! God, that is so terribly ugly it makes me cry. Absolutely TERRIBLE. It's almost up there with Luna.
The parent said "every few years". Cairo was what, 10 years ago? MS got over-excited back then and made promises before researching whether such things were possible with technology at the time -- they weren't.
"For example, we are changing the command line environment in Windows using a new object-oriented command line technology, code-named "Monad," that will exceed what has been delivered in Linux and Unix for many years. It will take three to five years to fully develop and deliver."
Now if you weren't just another slashdot troll, you would have actually watched the video where the quote came from yourself. And if you had done that, you would have heard Bob also state that Monad would be shipped with Longhorn as version 1 on their roadmap. They would then continue to develop it with more features and better integration for version 2, which to finish completely will take 3 to 5 years.
But Monad will still be quite usable in Longhorn, just not what they FULLY invisioned. Because, you know real software developers follow things called roadmaps. They have limited time, and try to implement only what they can in that time. Like how Firefox has different features slated for 1.1, 1.5, 2.0. Why don't they just put everything in 1.1?! huh???

And what if you try to maximize one window to get more space for each? Yeah, thought so, moron.
Uh what country are you in? There is Office 2000, Office XP and Office 2003.
All of them. They also are going to support Atom.
Funny you say that.. because it is a linux server.
You can't be fucking serious. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
2003 just as fast and stable as 2000, if not more so.
It WAS available back in 2001. In IE ;)
Have you used Windows Server 2003? ;)
200,000 per quarter (2nd and 3rd quarter) = 400,000 total. Learn to read.

Yeah.. cause we know that there aren't different teams working on different aspects of Longhorn.. no sir!
If there are people working on UI, then there is no possible way for others to be working on security.
Really? Please show me the last time they promised a new revolutionary new OS with this amount of features before.
I'll take option one. Easier to remember (visuals are easier to remember) and easier to discover if you don't remember.
Or you can just tell it you don't wish to validate and download anyway...
Very well put. However, most people have their anti-MS goggles on and can't think logically and objectively. Good luck with the flames.
Will it come with a new command line interface? No.
Yes it will.
It was all in good fun. Anyone who takes it seriously needs to take a step back and reevaluate their thought process.
Uh, try Opera 8.01 for linux. It's been released you know ;)
