Microsoft's new OS, "Vista" is such a piece of crap that more than half the code will have to be rewritten. That's embarrassing, to say the least.
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Up to 60% of the code in the new consumer version of Microsoft new Vista operating system is [a href="vny!://www.smarthouse.com.au/Computing/Platforms?Article=/Computing/Platforms/R7G5G6U4"]set to be rewritten[/a] as the company "scrambles" to fix internal problems, according to this report. In an effort to meet a deadline of the 2007 CES show in Las Vegas Microsoft has pulled programmers from the highly succesful Xbox team to help resolve many problems associated with entertainment and media centre functionality inside the OS.

In an effort to meet a dealine of the 2007 CES show in Las Vegas Microsoft has pulled programmers from the highly succesful Xbox team to help resolve many problems associated with entertainment and media centre functionality inside the OS. The team are also working closely with engineers from the Intel Viiv team. and it is now expected that the next version of Viiv could be delayed to line up with the launch of the consumer version of Vista at the 2007 CES Show in Las Vegas.One of the key components of the consumer version of Vista is the Media Centre code. This will be an optional package in the same way that Microsoft currently sell a Professional and Home version of XP. With Vista there will not be a seperate Media Centre SKU. [/p]Microsoft has also admitted that it has major problems in it's Windows division and has has immediatly initiated a total restructure of the division, a move that comes after a costly delay in rolling out its Vista program.[/p]
