You're crazy if you think microsoft would rewrite windows. No, they'd keep the old windows ALONGSIDE the new, already bloated windows stuff. Because updates that break stuff are bad.
They’re literally rewriting core libraries as we speak in Rust but go off I guess you obviously know it all
It's not most libraries. They're rewriting very specific libraries in Rust, generally ones that require both memory safety and concurency
You got it!
in fairness to them microsoft takes their backwards compatibility seriously to the point where i'd absolutely see them keeping their old implementation hidden somewhere and hot-swapping it in when they detect an old program that needs some inexplicable internal access to some C struct being launched.
This is true, that could be the case based off previous observations buuuut considering they’re doing this for security purposes, I think it make little sense to leave them behind
Then again, megalithic tech companies do stupid shit all the time
Didn't know they did. And what I said was a jab at windowd but go off I guess you obviously want to feel hurt.
You’re literally the one playing victim after talking out of your ass. Nice brojection 😎
