    Um actuwally modern Windows is based off the Windows NT kernel that isn’t 30 years old 🤓

    Still from the early 2000s though so it’s no excuse.

    Edit: I am spreading misinformation online :3 I was thinking of its mainline Windows release.

      NT 3.1 was released in 1993. But sure, the kernel has been reworked a lot since then.

        And itself based on VMS, which was released in 1977.

        Almost everything interesting about mass market operating systems was done in the 70s. Tons of academic work out there otherwise, but we’d have to rewrite everything to make good use of a lot of it.
