Architecture of Windows NT

systemd/Linux is still better.

nice design, I'll definitely check it out on github!

> everything runs in the same security context
No it doesn't. Windows has a very fine grained security controls compared to any other OS - from process privileges to file access security. It's often too complex, that people configure it incorrectly, especially sysadmins in domains, without fully understanding the concepts of ACL and ACEs that protect securable objects (i.e. files/firs), it's too easy to add incorrect ACEs or in bad orders etc.
This is why Windows owns the enterprise world, because those companies want centralization and complete control over all the machines in the network. Which Linux or Mac can't do, or rather no way as in much fine detail as Windows.

Shh, you'll destroy the freetards' carefully-crafted and manicured little bubble. They respond poorly to being corrected in the main.

What impresses me is that that image is 20 years old, but is accurate pretty much from NT 3.1 to 10.0.18362 - that little of its core operation has changed.
While eunuchs and its descendants are creaking and groaning under the number of modern features that have to be patched and glued on their monolithic asses after the fact, Windows improvements and features are pretty much all implemented in user mode since Vista - it's just that capable and flexible.
Thank you based pic related.

ReactOS mustard race.

On Debian I have it set so that in order to execute any action that requires root, I need to put in a different password than the one I used to login.
Windows UAC just has you click an extra button to use something that requires root.
Hmm, which system seems more secure?
Hudson Fisher
Of course you can just click on the UAC thing when you're logged in as ADMINISTRATOR you nigger

finally a post with some sense the sheer amount of people that lack fundamental knowledge of security descriptors and access ctl is madness

Another stupid freetard who doesn't understand the difference between an administrator account and a user account.

Wrong, if that was the case there are more secure OS stuck in academia research that could have taken over. It's not security that made windows popular.

Enterprise world don't actually give a shit about having "complete control on their machines".

I can tell you are not employed already, no need to confirming it with your cartoon reactionary image that you saved in your computer for this purpose earlier

Get in rehab and go back to school, kiddo.
Jaxson Gonzalez
It's okay, you can go back to your cartoon show now. No need to LARP any further. I'm sure one of your hundreds of cartoon reaction pictures that you collected over the years in your computer beat me in the argument already.

This is pathetic, even for a freetard.

Someone tell me something I didn't know about NT or other technical Windows stuff?
The other day on Jow Forums someone said that Linux keeps all of the binary in memory, that's why you don't need to restart/close apps after updates while Windows keeps only parts of it, reducing memory usage. I found it interesting.

when setting up user mode programs the kernel will map in a minimum of 2 modules even if the um program has no imports i.e. 0: ntdll, 1: kernel32 (there are some edge cases such as minimal processes which can have just ntdll)
bonus round: theres a structure named KUSER_SHARED_DATA which gets mapped to the same address regardless of whether ASLR is enabled / disabled
