- gizmo686 3y agoWindows? Every other general purpose OS we have today can trace its lineage pretty directly to UNIX, and they have not strayed that far from their roots. Even Windows is still of the same era. The shear size of the undertaking has meant that we really haven't seen fundamental changes in OS architecture, despite a radically different computing environment. If that is not technical debt, I don't know what is.
