Well, the funny thing is that they already proved that Windows can be modularized with the WinCE product. There was a recent editorial from Windows Server and .NET Magazine that more or less said the same thing--Microsoft can do it, they just don't want to. However, I have heard that the new embedded Windows generation of products will not be as modular. Rather, you will just disable what you don't need rather than not include the code. So that may be a good counterargument.
