That would have meant the death of COM and DLL hell thanks to the .NET GAC and much nicer interfacing/import options available. And sure enough, that was one of the biggest disappoints in the series of what Vista turned out not to be.

Contrary to what youve heard, Windows Vista will not be shipping with any of the original technologies, features, capabilities, or subsystems originally promised. First it was the real Aero complete visual control over ones system. Amazing graphics, sidebars that were a part of the Windows Core, Aero Diamond. Then it was NGSCB and its amazing security features not DRM, but total privacy control; your privacy. Monad. Last we heard, it was WinFS, the king-pin feature that was promised to change the way you think of data And now the last one is gone: Microsoft Max is dead. Microsoft Max was a virtual photo albums and distributing them online in a peer-to-peer fashion. But it was more than just a sharing tool, it, in-keeping with the original Longhorn tradition provided a different way of looking at the data stored on your drive. Microsoft Max + WinFS would have been a formidable duo, but alas, it was not to be. For example, 3D Mantle View (pictured above), treated albums as individual items. It provide a way to visually stack these and photos on top and around each other in ways that pertained to the way you actually used them visualization of information movement. But its biggest potential was the P2P functionality. No, it wasnt KazAa, but it wasnt meant to be. Its not for sharing photos of your family vacation so much as it was for team collaboration, sharing of thoughts and ideas conveyed by means of a simple photo. Oh yeah, that reminds us Vistas previously well-developed PC-to-PC collaborative synchronization work protocol was also exorcised a couple of months ago. It seems Microsoft is dedicated to not shipping Vista with anything that might be deemed useful. Again, just like when WinFS was officially killed, its not like we couldnt see it coming. Microsoft Max hasnt been touched in almost a year (March 6, 2006 to be exact), and Vista obviously hit Beta 2, RC1, and RC2 without it but that doesnt make it OK though. Yesterday Microsoft came forward and announced a final and no matter what RTM date (not RTM build, but actual Release-to-Manufacturer) of November 30th, 2006. Yesterday Microsoft came forward and killed the last remaining member of the Longhorn information-control vision. Coincidence? Probably not. It doesnt matter why or how, and it doesnt matter when the actual decision was made. What does matter is that Microsoft had a killer idea for a media-centric collaboration platform, and they killed it. But this is a bit different from WinFS & Co. Microsoft Max can be built as stand-alone application, and it doesnt have to be Microsoft that does it. It was a great idea, and Microsoft had first dibs so to speak, but that doesnt mean that the idea has to die along with it. SOURCE: neosmart.net [...]

"Give them the toughest set of restrictions, so then when you give them a permission they feel about it like an improvement"... What now? will they make it so it appears as a "later upgrade"?

Vista <em>was</em> amazing, and the entire concept of WinFS was proof enough of that. But Windows is an ancient OS now, and the best thing they can do is copy Apple: <a href="http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/190" rel="nofollow">create a new version</a> that isn't backwards compatible, then add virtualization to make it run older software.
