Whoops! I guess Microsoft's expert software developers did a fucky wucky. Never underestimate the cycle of improvement.

they've been doing for 40 years, surely they can't be that retarded...

I'm sure they are, given that one forgotten incident with CrowdStrike not too long ago.

They're trying to use that as an excuse to lock down kernal access for programs, for better or worse. Wonder what'll happen to anticheats

Its just a build number, it could be whatever the fuck they want but developers insist on querying that specific variable to be able to identify the OS they are running on instead of using the APIs

good riddance

Bashing Microsoft is fun,but that mass BSOD thing can't be blamed on them.It is 100% CrowdStrike's fault.

9 was terrified of 7 and ran away
7 got locked up

>>101585393
stupid benchmark, even if you allocated 1 core max to each VM, the OS scheduler can still interleave work from all 3 on the same core.

why is microsoft unable to name their products coherently?
>>
>>101584300
Because many developers are regarded.
There was a ton of code out there which checked whether the OS name starts with 9x (to avoid Win 95, 98, etc.), and as a consequence would not support Windows 9 or anything with a version 9.

Microsoft just said fuck it and skipped a bunch of numbers.

>>101584875
anticheats are made by large corporations. They will get exceptions of course. Only you, the user, will lose access/control. That is the purpose of trusted computing- it's not _your_ trust being protected.
>>
>>101587696
lazy faggots coded OS support checks to look for "windows 9*" back on windows 95 and 98
