Which explains the ARM-twisting with Surface

unless a new version of Windows can guarantee 100% backwards compatibility with existing software, no visible UI changes

Windows 7 certainly did not provide either of these facets. Neither, for that matter, did XP or Windows 2000.

When I had a job for a few short months, earlier this year, the company had only
recently finished migrating from 9x to XP!

We started buying a few new Win7 machines, and the compatibility issues were,
shall we say, annoying. As a computer guy I would have shrugged them off, but
the company directors were proudly computer illiterate - "we just want it
to work!", and they weren't happy with work-arounds.

Okay, the company probably is slowly moving forward, but ...

Cheers,
Wol
