Reminds me of Longhorn
Mr. Dee 6th Jan 2011
Not that Longhorn was bad, since its the basis for Windows 7. But the strategy sounds like Microsoft is planning revamp areas of Windows like they did with graphics, audio and network stack in Windows Vista. Although this strategy sounds like its at a much higher level. Looking at one of Long Zhengs screenshots I noticed that the kernel version is 6.2, so Microsoft is being very careful not to break any existing investments in Windows 7.
