For quite awhile I have been saying that Microsoft should really scrap backwards compatibility and legacy features within Windows, create a "built in" virtual machine to run programs in legacy-mode, and focus on creating a high quality operating system ...

Personally, I have seen (practically) no reason to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista and I have yet to hear of a single reason why I would want to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. If an upgrade meant that all of the design decisions made for DOS had finally been removed from the system, and the system was finally very secure, I would probably be first in line to upgrade.

That is what they are doing happy.  http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/default.aspx
