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

There were decent (at least, worked for me) NTFS drivers for Linux like 20 years ago. (Back when I felt the need to dual boot)
We don’t have to use it for anything other than compatibility.
Personally I’d very much like for ACPI to be un-fucked
Haven’t we been exposed to enough horror?
Probably wouldn’t work, at this point I doubt they’re capable of feeling shame anymore, if they ever were.
