I've mentioned this in another post and I'll do it again because the question needs to be answered.
Why doesn't Microsoft rewrite the 25-year-old kernel code to use VSS or some similar mechanism so that a faulty hot patch won't bring the system down? Windows should be able to unload the faulty patch and or reboot/reload on fault without the patch. The current arrangement is not only antiquated it's madness.
Suggestion: perhaps Microsoft needs to look at a few mainframe architectures to see how it's done.
Simply, once running an OS should never crash unless a hardware fault develops.
Done properly, it would also have the benefit of the OS never having to be rebooted when new software is installed. Period!
It's time this Dark Age operating system was ditched or rewritten.
