Did any of that crap code from Windows 95 go in the kernel, or was it just in user space?

- Animats 11y agoA lot of it went into the kernel for Windows XP. It took until Windows 7 to clean up the mess inside.
- limeyx 11y agoThey moved the entire graphics subsystem into kernel because it was "too slow" in user mode
- Animats 11y agoYes. Then Microsoft hired Mark Russinovich, the guy who ran "ntinternals.com" and demonstrated it wasn't too slow, to shut him up.[1] [1] http://windowsitpro.com/windows-server/did-microsoft-shut-down-nt-internals-web-site http://windowsitpro.com/windows-server/did-microsoft-shut-do...
