It's most likely all the stuff that's been heaped on top of the core that causes some of the issues with performance.

Microsoft should rethink Windows from the core, nah, from the soul. In 2008, it's hard to explain that formatting a diskette, printing over a parallele port printer or copying files between two usb drives takes top CPU usage. You don't see this on a Linux OS. Heck, in 1991+, you didn't see that CPU usage in Linux on hardware from those years! The next version of Windows should not add pizazz or gizmos, but be 1) Extremelly stable and 2) Extremelly fast. And by "fast" I mean; not by adding more optimizing software and tools, but making the core faster. Pat Agreed.
