Comment on Windows 7's milestones to nowhereparent

Ahh, those were the days. I remember being really excited when I went to install 10.0 on a beige G3 desktop. I was still excited when it was finished 2 hours later! :)

The problem I see is that the jump between OS 9 -> OS X was way bigger than XP -> Vista. There are just too many vestigial bits in the core of Vista right now. It's not even close to Apple's Carbon situation. It's far, far worse. I am pretty sure I saw an icon from Windows 3.1 just the other day.
