When you take basic functionality of an OS and essentially tell the  
users to go scratch people (including myself) get upset. Quality  
control is part of *COMPATIBILITY* AT least one major manufacturer  
takes such items seriously. From design to implementation it is part  
of the QC process. Compatibility between releases of OS (and or  
hardware) is really important because like I said 100's of millions  
of dollars of investment (company assets are involved) if those  
assets no longer work they cannot be on the books as assets. 100's of  
millions is no small bowl of nuts it is a piece of the pie and every  
CEO looks at all the important financial numbers. 100's of millions  
is NOT chump change to any corporate entity.
