And yet, if MS released a much lighter OS than ran perfectly fast on 
everyones machine, you'd have some people immediately complaining that it 
didn't make enough use of their hardware now, let alone in 5 years time.

Of course.  With a product that is used by so many people, of course there 
are going to be a lot of people complaining, no matter what MS does.  The 
funny thing is, if you ask the complainers what they think MS should do 
instead, they never can come up with any idea that will actually make MS 
much money.  They often say something like "they should just concentrate on 
making XP better" (ermm, isn't that called Vista?) or "they should just give 
up writing software" (and sack everyone?).
