So, after complaining that Vista isn't enough like XP, now he's saying it's
*too much* like XP. If it were just refreshed theme and new icons,
his app would just work.

That's the point, Dan.

It's changed so much for so little actual improvement in the user
experience.

The "user experience" has been upgraded quite a lot, of course,
but this manager dismissed that. And well he may, since
Aero is not very relevant to your typical in-house line-of-business
app.

But there's stuff that is, if you bother to look. For this kind of thing,
..NET 3.0 is a big win. But there's hardly anything in Vista that has
not been upgraded.

What is unreasonable to dismiss Vista for not being a big
*enough* upgrade of the Windows innards, while condemning
it also for poor app-compat. If Microsoft had been even more
radical with Vista, the compatibility would be *worse*.
