Of course they are scared of it. A graveyard of games and apps. And that's just
the beginning. The the equivalent of digital preservation at execution level.
Since there is no source code or maintainer for old software, then
emulation/virtualisation is the only way to go and it's extremely cumbersome.
It also leads to fragmentation. I have one friend who has been collecting
computer games since we were children. How do you think he would feel about
Vista?
Again, that's just the compatibility debate. Vista has far greater problems
that you could write entire books about. To most people, however, it's simpler
than this. It's just a name ("Vista") and some interface called Aero Glass.
