Well as far as I have read only the Desktop (Explorer Shell) would be gone in the short term. Beyond Win9 or so all bets are off anyway.

The first two issues being fixed prior to Win7 are significant reasons why Win7 was so well accepted. Neither was Microsoft's or Vista's fault.

The Vista bashing gets pretty old and never lends credibility.
