You missed the point.
When you keep everything in one place the hacker only needs one success.

It's clunky, confusing, ugly, non-intuitive, and seems to be purposely
designed to frustrate people.
It's basically an AMC Pacer with the steering wheel in middle.

Is that really a good idea to put all your security in Google which is

I'll agree. There is probably not a rewrite.

could not be rewritten in three years, nor would I want it to be rewritten."
Right. That was the point of the article. A lot of developers
I don't understand what is "stupid" about it from a UI experience. The parts
of Windows I hate most are hangs and crashes, but those two things are usually
causes by non-MS software, although I know there are bugs in the kernel that
sometime slow things down.

There's no "rewrite" of Windows. You have to consider that Windows is an
*enormous* codebase that likely could not be rewritten in three years, nor
would I want it to be rewritten.
This code, as much as it is maligned, has been tested for years by the general
public and most of the serious bu

Now everyone can develop for Windows. This is just Microsoft inviting the
world to build for their platform. Great strategic move.

True, there are alot of people who are afraid of change, and
Sandboxing is not something that MS is looking to do with its technologies - in
fact, MS does exactly the opposite. Tight integration with OS-level operations
are a strong component of .NET and there is no indication that sandboxing is
wanted at the OS level.
That said, sandboxing is alread

So the next Microsoft Office will be written in Javascript and HTML5? :-)
All I'm concerned about is more stability at the OS level, and less
opportunity for malware infections.
Did they ever implement the sandboxing of applications so that they are
separate from the core OS?
Will this be faste
