So perhaps M$ was using this as a reason why they didn't start from scratch? (I guess for an OS it just would take too long to develop from scratch, as Ted noted.)
I don't think MSFT ever claimed they were starting from scratch. The cost would be horrific. New code yields a lot more bugs. And the chances of getting 20 years of old code to run on it would be a huge task. Otoh, MSFT has had thousands working on this thing for a long time. Perhaps it would have been better to start from scratch. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
