A very in-depth article about how Microsoft is planing its new Operating System, an engineer from Microsoft comments and agrees on how bloated Microsoft's current kernel is.

So it looks like Vista was also a problem for the Dutch, and now they want free versions of XP to replace the bug infested Vista.

Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3 due in Q1 '08 - The first service pack for Windows Vista is on its way, and PC Magazine has a preview of an early private beta version. [Digg Main]

Microsoft knows that XP will still be alive on desktops for the next 2-3 years before hardware will be put in place to utilize Vista. Therefore they have made available some of the features within Vista, in a new service pack for XP. At this point, Vista is really buggy and crashes often. I've even reverted back to XP after continued nightmares with Vista. I hope the new service for Vista brings some stability to the operating system that was originally slated to replace XP, but hasn't done so quite yet.
