Indeed.
Without wanting to gush too much, but NT is a wonderful piece of technology. It's orders of magnitude better than anything else on the market without a doubt for any application.
The bit people have the "hate problem" with is the Win32 subsystem that is chucked on top of it.
- shin_lao 14y agoI've got many years of experience working with the NT kernel world (filesystem layer especially) and I can't upvote you enough. There aren't that many OS that have a working, unified, cache, a good hardware abstraction layer or the possibility to run any subsystem. My only regret is that Microsoft didn't open the subsystem API enough. I submit they want to keep some freedom in this area.
- sageikosa 14y agoI believe Windows NT is wonderful as well. But it wasn't designed as a real-time OS, whereas CE was; hence the comments that CE was "scrapped" for NT in Windows Phone 8. The lack of real-time handling probably won't have much impact on the phone platform, since users (the primary interface consumers of the OS) don't operate anywhere near "real-time" anyway.
