60% of Windows Vista needs a rewrite?
Australia's Smarthouse magazine says a Microsoft insider has
confirmed that "up to 60% of the code in the [Windows Vista] is set to be rewritten." The article says
that Vista's entertainment and media center functionality is experiencing "many problems," and programmers
from the Xbox 360 have been pulled in to help fix them. Furthermore, Smarthouse says Microsoft has "initiated a
total restructure of the [Windows] division." I don't see any of this being confirmed anywhere, but it sure sounds
like a disaster. Will Vista be a leap for Windows like Windows 95, or is this the harbinger of another Windows ME?[Thanks, Ed!]

not a big surprise. I read somewhere that Vista will require at least 900 megs of ram to run, and 2 gigs of ram to play current PC video games. Vista games are suppose to be much more resource hungry. So there is definitely room for improvement with the code. I sure hope its not another ME. I want my DirectX 10.
