    Making something perform better on crapware, as well as adding new features is rather difficult. While it would be nice if they could just snap their fingers and make a new OS thats flawless, it just can't happen like that.

    Personally they should just start from scratch, New Kernel, Filesystem, GUI, etc. Even if it takes like 4-5 years.

    And then we will have a forum full of whiners because their win7, vista and xp drivers and apps don't work on win8.

    Well they'll have to get over it now wont they? Its been a while and I think they need a complete overhaul (W7 is nice but could have been better) and need to just start from scratch.

    I totally agree.

    You have to let go of the past sometimes.

    They should do what they did with 98 and NT, develop a brand new OS as a side track to the current development, and then at some point dump the obsolete one.

    A transition fase of a couple of years.
