This is unlikely for some time I believe. MS don't piss-off the people
required to generate their revenue (ie, corporates etc,) and as a rule go to
huge pains to make software backward compatible. Windows is Windows for
this reason, not because anyone wants it this way <wink>. We may end up
with optimizations for later versions, but that is a different question.
