yeah it's basically to windows what Linux was to Unix back in the day. hopefully some day it will be viable, but maybe it won't. there's only one way to find out

I think that by the time they become stable enough to use as a daily driver, no one will be using 2003-compatible software or hardware. If they're even using the hardware now, that is. I mean we're talking ten years and older.

I don't question why they're "bothering", but I do wonder why they haven't adjusted their compatibility goals to something more useful such as Vista or Windows 7.
