This is far from a field with which I have experience, so I can't provide any sort of solid answer. I imagine that it would be a significant change, and would take time to do right. But not a decade. Surely, something could have been introduced in any of the 3 OSs released since that date that could have addressed the issue. I'm not trying to play them out to be evil, or incompetent. I think this is just an example of a problem that was on the "let's do this tomorrow" list for 10 years running. Understandable, in a way, but somewhat less understandable when in the context of a giant like MicroSoft.
