Well, yeah, wouldn't hurt to completely rewrite Windows from scratch I guess. But if that is to improve _anything_, backwards compatibility would be necessarily broken, and that hurts sales.
Same thing for architectures. The thought of running some very, very, very fast version of my 1989 80286-16 with just some extra instructions and other neat stuff is not very comforting at all! Especially considering that it is a product of one of the "fastest evolving" industries ever. Certainly not the most flexible, I guess.
