Allchin is way at the top - so, nobody could have been telling him anything. WinFS must have made everything incompatible - even with XP. I know you don't get the problem. If this wasn't a problem, Apple and Linux wouldn't regularly break older apps - sometimes just one version back. The sheer number of apps that run on Windows is AMAZING! I don't think you grasp that since you don't run Windows.

hard to believe US CS enrollment would drop so precipitously if there was a major bounty out there at graduation time. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently reported a 60 percent decline in Computer Science undergraduate enrollment between 2000 and 2004. Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that IT-related jobs will grow 45 to 68 percent between 2002 and 2012. The Groundhog Job Shadow Day (GJSD) program, run by the Job Shadow Coalition (including America 's Promise, Junior Achievement, the U.S. Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of Labor) aims to narrow that gap between available jobs and qualified talent.
