HP says to expect multi-touch laptops "long before" Windows 7 {Engadget}

Wrong. .NET, Java, Python, C/C++ (at least after a recompilation), etc. apps would run fine. Only Win32 apps wouldn't work, and why should the whole OS suck just because of some legacy applications. Just as with Apple's move to OS X and later Apple's move to Intel, that's what compatibility layers (e.g. Wine) and virtual machines are for. If Microsoft just keeps letting devs make these buggy legacy applications, the OS is just going to keep getting worse.

Jun 11th 2008 7:09PM I don't think so. Sure, Microsoft could create a x86_64-only non-bloated lightweight OS based on the NT kernel, eliminate Win32, the Registry, and all that other legacy cruft, implement a POSIX subsystem, embrace open standards, get rid of DRM, not make unnecessary components like IE unremovable, open up where it won't hurt their business, ensure high-quality drivers by only allowing drivers to be integrated directly into the kernel or through unsupported kernel modules ("if you don't want to work with us to get your hardware working on our OS, then too bad"), implement some sort of package management, implement and/or create a decent filesystem (ZFS perhaps?), add some cool features, polish it up, and make it pleasant to use in general, but I just don't see that happening. We've been waiting for that for years; hasn't happened yet, probably won't happen now.
