@inzen @mr_MADAFAKA as soon as the kernel rewrite happened, this is nearly guaranteed. https://augsburg.social/@schtobia/115767277911084452

Oh wow, all the legacy software would be stuck on old windows or have to move to linux. If I got that right.

They could implement a compatibility layer themselves, Apple managed to keep compatibility moving from PPC to x86 and then to ARM

There was an update to that post, where the author said it was a "misinterpretation" and that it was just a research project.

@ashleythorne true! But the Win32 ABI was the "holy grail" of Microsoft. You can run a Win95 application written under Borland C++ today! That they even _considering_ of breaking that, would be *unthinkable* a few years ago.

There was some experiment they did in the mid 2000a that was also going to be completely incompatible. It went nowhere.
