Vista was supposed to be a "from the ground up" OS, new source coding an all. But some how that didn't even pan out.
Originally they planned to finally let go of MS-DOS and NTFS ( NTFS is derrived from MSDOS as well ) and implement a completely new and very fast file management system . This was planned for Vista ,mind you. I haven't heard anything about this FMS anymore since , not even for windows 7 . One can only assume the entire plan has been scrapped and with it any chance of true innovation.

Point is : MS has been using MSDOS ever since they first started . Everything is based on it . But the more you put around MSDOS ( the shell ) the more bloated the entire thing gets - MSDOS was great until , say, the 80's but these days it's beginning to show its flaws because it wasn't meant to handle multimedia for one . And given the fact they hardly put out the source- code ( so 3rd party developers can tweak it ) there simply is no way forward .

It's funny how some ppl label Vista as "crap" because their comps can't handle it.
lol, you think companies can't afford PC to run Vista ? They choose not to upgrade to Vista .

MS gets most revenue from companies , not from consumers.

oh,btw : my computer can handle Vista with room to spare ,but I don't want to run Vista because I worked in PC repair shop until recently and saw first-hand it simply wasn't worth the investment ( especially considering XP is simply less of a resources hog ) if you had XP.
