  Interesting article I read this morning on what exactly Vista is.  It's 
Server 2003 with all the visual stuff piled on top.  The short story is that 
the Vista that was in development grew to unbelievable size in CodeBase and was 
abandoned at a very late hour to scramble and create the current version.

  There has only been a 6 percent shift in Business computers to Vista and the 
installations of XP Pro has remained unchanged, meaning the Vista Installations 
were upgrades from something else.   Win7, due out in 2009 is supposed to speak 
to the modularity suggested in the article, wherein the slimmed down core could 
have say a Win32 Module that would maintain backward compatibility to all the 
Gazillions of Win32 apps that form the CodeBase to business applications and 
then other modules that could allow the DotNetters to develop for that environ 
and I suppose there could be a xxNIX module.  The concept for the modular OS 
would allow the very small core to have all these different modules separately 
or concurrently which would give coverage for everything from Mobile users to 
Enterprise servers around the same OS Core.  Let's see if MS can get their head 
out of their asses long enough to make it happen...
