Sure, MSFT could abandon all of the systems that have gone before, 'tear' off that clean sheet of paper, and get together with the latest and greatest design, and tell all of the embedded sales to trash their systems, and get the new one! Yeah, that would be real SMART! You can bet that void would be filled only too happily by the other software vendors! Then everyone would say, "See, I told you MSFT would self-destruct!"

Actually a 'gain' in capacity could be gained by blocking to 1024 instead of 512, but then there would be that 'backward compatibility' problem! Remembering my favorite quote, "Nothing is TOO TOUGH for the person that DOESN'T HAVE TO DO IT!", it is easy for me to look backward and 'bitch' about what should have been! My 'crystal ball' is always clear that direction, but looking forward it seems to cloud up a bit.

Thoughts,

Ken
