That's where the false dichotomy lies: you can have both an OS with fewer innate capabilities ie a slim OS and a fully featured one at the same time. @Michael – a slimmed down OS + virtualisation = the features set of any OS you care to run in virtualisation.

However this dichotomy you mentioned still stands. If you prefer a slim OS, it always means that you prefer an OS with fewer capabilities. Of course, I assume here that the code has been optimized.

Wouldn't a slim OS capable of running older versions of Windows in virtualisation software the ideal solution. Microsoft can't go on forever keeping 100% backward compatibility all the way back to DOS. Creating a stripped down OS with all previous operating systems available as virtual images would solve a lot of problems for them.
