Actually, 'Whistler' is based on Windows 2000 and (according
to Microsoft) will contain no legacy 16-bit code. (I'll
believe it when I see it.)
On the plus side, it will probabally be the most stable
desktop version of Windows ever. On the other hand a lot of
older programs will break under Whistler.
Given Microsoft's track record on OS releases, the 3Q 2001
release date will more likely be 2Q 2002 or later...
