True, vista was a vast improvement on XP, but the core of this permission security is still handled at a software not filesystem level. I was kinda hoping windows7 would feature a completely redesigned os where nothing pre-vista would run. All XP/98 apps would be runable in a kind of built in protected environment like a VM or in the way Wine works, with the master OS acting like a kind of firewall.
You have described MSs problem perfectly, legacy. To introduce a system that cuts it all off would be admitting to past faliures, fundementally shortsighted design and windows would have less software available than linux (and far less than OSX) for at least several years.
I guess this would be suicide.
