"But there was a big problem. In the past, each new version of Windows
was written on top of earlier ones. The code became gangly. It resembled
sedimentary rock with the occasional fossil of a long-lost feature or
inadvertent vulnerability.

Vista was meant to clean up all this debris. Its code was written from
scratchƒ ”a large part of the reason for its delay. "
