Why would MS rewrite 60% of Vista just for the consumer version?

Because it desperately needs it. The heart of the consumer version
is the media certer functionality. Right now that's not working and is
an unstable mess (so they say) that will be easier to rewrite than fix.
Why not overhaul it before launch? It is certainly is better to do it that
way than to release a horribly buggy version and require numerous
fixes later.

A bit of both from what Peter and Tom have said... however I do think that
it's mainly speculation in the article - but yeh, they have to modify bits
and bobs from different versions... that's just how it goes
) Different
people require different needs!
