Mmmh, I would'nt be so sure about that.

Look what happened with the so-called "Dos Box". Started as command.com, moved up to 
cmd.exe with NT4, and I'm using it daily as a native scripting language on a XP 
machine. Why ? Just because many people are used to it, and that it doesn't cost 
anything to let it survive. (Not to say that many administrative tasks require some 
cmd.exe commands)
I hav'nt had a Vista machine, but I think I read somewhere that cmd.exe was still there.

IMHO, it'll be the same with the "good'ol" win32 api. So many applications rely on 
it, and can be easily rebuild from source with a couple of mods, I don't think MS 
will break it so sharply.
And was Vista written from scratch ? It probably relies also on some win32 api code, 
or else, I got things wrong about MS...

Anyhow, good advice, I agree !
