Are you saying that Microsoft are incapable of releasing a decent product or a stable API? If so, you'd be wrong on the second count, and I'd say the first too

Are you saying that Microsoft are incapable of releasing a decent product or a stable API? If so, you'd be wrong on the second count, and I'd say the first too but then argument would ensure.
The Windows API and all related systems are stable and mature.
And I'm saying this as an OSX user.

It's not something which requires privileged system access, and thus should be done in user mode where bugs like this won't lead to privilege escalation.
- 72deluxe 12y agoBut everything in the OS will use a scrollbar, so put it in the kernel, right? :-) Only kidding. I think OSX got around this problem by removing scrollbars haha only kidding You make an excellent point, sorry to misunderstand your original post.
