There are lots of flaws with the POSIX models. NT's creater (cutler) fixed a lot of them. Your dismive attitude is probably due to ignorance instead deep knowledge of what the NT kernel is capable of.
Just a few days ago there was post about how NT's IO by default is more performant.
- youdontknowtho 10y agoCutler is a nerd-hero of mine. Yeah, the NT kernel design is pretty frickin awesome. There is a great book about the run up to NT's release. He took on the job because he thought that writing operating systems would happen fewer and fewer times in the future. I think he actually said that he thought this might be one of the last times a commercial OS would be written from scratch. The thing about operating systems is that everyone thinks they know everything there is to know, but wow are they off the mark.
- niroze 10y agoAwesome! Glad someone is actually talking sense here :) The idea that windows=bad across the board is terrible. Most don't even know what VMS is/was.
