MikeD: You're absolutely correct, compatibility can't be 100% guaranteed, but they absolutely can cut out Vista's bloat. And they can start by making sure loading a 'glass' window doesn't consume 512MB of memory. They need to go easy on the graphics, and keep a close eye on all of the bloat. There's no reason whatsoever Windows 7 can't be as fast and stable as XP. If memory serves, Windows ME bombed big time, but Windows XP was a lot better, with Windows ME's features. Hopefully that'll be the case with Vista, and Windows 7.
