No - An Opposing View On Future Of Windows

No as you can see from these forum posts, and many others across the web, users demand stabilty, performance and reliability. I doubt anyone cares for all the bits that have been put into Windows over the years, all we see is ever increasing disk, memory and CPU requirements for little benefit over what was shipped in NT4! (*imagine all the things that have been added to Vista could have been added directly to NT4 and no-one would have complained).

The fact of the matter is that Windows has lost its way and become a bloated mass of inconsistent, poorly engineered, badly fitting components. The problem is more due to a lack of control over the entire thing that has allowed it to spread and sag. I'm sure someone thought it woudl be a good idea to put the winsxs directory in, but they didn't do it well enough - not if it continues to grow in size like it does. If the directory was simply a cache of files you've got to ask how could they get it so wrong? If they simply took the version number from the dll, created a directory of that name, and placed the dll in it, we wouldn't have this issue at all.......
