I think, to punish Micro$lop for its collaboration with fascists and its monopolistic behavior, the whole Windows codebase should be made public domain.

    does the public really want more garbage than they already has?

    The kernel and NTFS seem decent from what i heard. Or at least was (the kernel, no guess what they vibecoded into it now).

    About NTFS: it was actually pretty good for it's time (90s), but the tooling makes no use of some of it's better features and abuses some others close to breaking point. Literally pearls for the sows.
