Copland is a partial, not a complete rewrite. Copland apps have to live
with some handicaps due to this. Read some of the other postings in this
thread, this has already been discussed quite a bit, I'm sure discussion
is not over yet. Yes, copland is an improvement. But it seems more like a
Win3.1 to Win95 sort of improvement, not a Win3.1 to WinNT sort of
improvement.
