This is also a reminder that Windows and the NT kernel have been so neglected and underdeveloped that it’s a technical house of cards.
Blame Microsoft for firing their NT kernel team and QA teams in the Windows 9 era to instead automate testing and development.
In fact, if Europe could just generalise and open source the NT kernel, Windows could actually be usable again.

I guess it would be useful just for running software that only works on Windows but I can’t think of any other actual benefits to NT when compared to any Unix/Unix-like kernel
So, you want ReactOS.
Yeah
How’d you suppose Europe would open-source one very very commercial software? It’s practically like asking McDonalds to pay you for eating their burgers.
You’re joking right? Because that’s just nonsense.
It is a bunch of nonsense, but all of it true.
If I were to take the first part seriously, the kernel is actually the thing that’s holding up the best out of everything nowadays
Don’t delete it, that’ll fuck up your computer. Instead rename it to System64 so you can make full use of all 64 bits your computer has. I tried any and my pc is like 5x times faster.
Only 5x? Shouldn’t it be 32x?
why the fuck system32 is 64bits and syswow64 is 32bits, i hate microsoft
Too many hard coded absolute references to fix now.
Because 16 bit reasons. Also a lot of Windows API is called
Win32regardless of the used bits, as it was the API created for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 originally, with some things added onto it later, and even some kind of deprecated parts
I use 16 bits that’s enough
A true FAR PASCAL enjoyer, I see.
void far ahhhhh
Blast processing.

Will Windows even let you do that?
Why did Windows name it with 32? Always confused by that
My work laptop doesn’t allow me to do this. Shall I open a ticket to IT support?
Yes, they’ll be thrilled! They love this kind of challenges, they call them ‘absolute fucking dumbass tickets’ - satirically of course. They like me.
