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

@[email protected] that's a really good idea - for #LinuxOnDesktop. Microsoft's biggest strength was it's WIn32 ABI compatibility - down to Win95. They are now seemingly willing to sacrifice this, in the first time in 30 years. Which means, there's a significant chance for #Proton / #Wine to be more compatible than Windows itself. Good riddance!
BarryThere 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.
