As an interesting background fact, I heard that Google has an advanced Al doing all this stuff completely autonomously.
His real name is Albert, by the way.

You probably didn't even know about the TSX instruction set before reading this article.
There's simply no value to spending time making these systems good.
Apparently someone still sees value in spending a lot of time making all the overly complex multi-page forms and user account systems for the current systems.
When it came out it was the most secure and stable version of windows at that point in time. At this point in time it is the most buggy/virus waiting to happen version.
Let's not forget that it also created a massive wild west for all sorts of malware before Service Pack 2.
Decades? Really now?
The Stylistic lineup is quite old.
Everybody went in for Windows as their favoutte desktop operating system a couple decades back. After XP, there is little to be gained from Microsoft's latter offerings in operating systems. So now we are seeing large migrations to Linux and larger numbers still sticking on with XP.
I actually think that the operating systems after XP (read: NT 6.x) are precisely the ones that work really well and are nice to use. Of course the Windows 8 UI presents a problem, but the core is still robust and constantly improving.
Back in the day I liked Windows 2000 a lot, but skipped XP completely as it mostly was a bloated an unsecure version of 2000. I can't believe how sentimental people were towards a junkpile like XP when the support was ended.
With closed source, you have to either reverse-engineer another program which does what you want or you have to hope that someone has documented what you know about, and they probably haven't if we're talking about Windows.
Interfaces are very well documented in Windows world. Sure, you can't hack the core OS, but if you want to create anything on top of it (drivers, applications) it's actually a very hackable environment.
Indeed.
No one loses anything if you make a copy!
