Apparently you all missed the part that says "Mr. Allchin had announced to hundreds of Windows engineers that they would "reset" Longhorn using a clean base of code that had been developed for a version of Windows on corporate server computers." Yes, they threw it out. They didnt rewrite it all, it clearly says they restarted on a clean code from windows server. Most of you want MS to continue to screw up. Youre afraid that theyre adapting and improving. You hate the idea of MS entirely. Hippies.
