Microsoft still manages to do 'cool stuff' at the kernel level; IO Rings, VBS, Rust, etc. Only thing I see on the Apple' what's new that looks interesting is Metal updates. Most of the rest is UI.

Configuration files have a /well defined/ layout? I don't have to guess if it is YES|NO|TRUE|FALSE|0|1... or does it use quotes or no quotes around the variable and/or value? Or a space between the variable and the equal

Sure, much like ping and tracert are BSD programs on Windows, just with a few different options that are OS-specific. There's no reason to include GNU anywhere. I don't know why Apple would.

There's commercial software that will not run on a case-sensitive file system, such as Photoshop. If you're using 3rd party software, you don't want to format your default volume with case-sensitivity enabled.

Grandma doesn't use certified UNIX. She uses a UNIX-like system. Only the engineers who ran the conformance test use certified UNIX since it required what I would consider heavy modification to the shipped OS configuration.

In Windows, once you're in long mode, there's no 16-bit available to you. You can instead take the DOSBox or other VM route. Linux isn't really relevant given the time frame.

There was a large effort either right before or after Server 2003 to harden the Windows codebase as a whole. Certainly it hasn't been 100% rewritten, that'd make no sense. But I'm not going to guess how much of it /has&#

1) Those patches address a wide range of issues, from bug fixes to feature additions, to security fixes. This is uninteresting. 2) The issue had nothing to do with the patch. It was a coincidence.

Keytab usage is rare because the service you intend to run under that service account does not support keytabs. There's also the knock-on effect of Kerberos being mostly hidden in Active Directory and creating keytabs requiring CLI too

Neither macOS nor Windows use a hardware-based accelerator for memory compression. It's all done in software. Linux zram uses Intel QAT but that's only available on a limited number of processors. You seem to be under the mistaken
