The last thing Windows needs is still more APIs.  They need to kill off 
about 80% of the legacy APIs and work on debugging and hardening the 
rest.  The attack surface of Windows is *vast*.

Just a few years ago, I helped someone get a DOS program from 1985 
running on someone's Windows XP box.  It worked fine!  The biggest 
difficulty was in finding the floppy drives to load it.  Some consider 
this a feature, until they're schooled in what this means for security.

That's the lesson they need to take from OS X.  Break old programs 
early, break them often. :)
