@mcc if it has a dedicated screen for errors. Something called blue screen of death, it probably is not.

@mcc all things are possible, I suppose, in an infinite universe. 3.11 might have been OK, and there were rumours of POSIX compliance in one of the early NT based versions, though which one escapes me, just at the moment.
Reminder
Too big & too old to be a trustful thing:1- The complexity of a program increases until it exceeds the capabilities of the teams responsible for its maintenance. (done since the beginning, a common thing with stolen stuffs)
2- A bug free program is an obsolete one.

@mcc This is not a question it is a statement. It also happens to be true.

@mcc It is pretty sad.
In 2015, Windows acknowledged a 30 Year Anniversary. After missteps with Windows 8, also announces Windows 10 being a free upgrade for all Windows Vista, 7 and 8 users.
The question: right now nobody will celebrate a 50th anniversary of Windows (the 40th was last November, did anyone notice), but with Microsoft renaming everything as CoPilot, will Windows even exist by then?

@mcc its been 25 years and files still get locked, forcing you to restart to release the lock, so you can delete or rename the file.
You decide.

If you give a room full of monkeys with typewriters 150k random DLLs, could they produce Windows 12 by accident?

@mcc it's an OS fit for raccoons halfway reaching into a juicy dumpster on a very hot and humid day, the stench radiating 10 metres in all directions like a punch in the face when it reaches one's nostrils
