My god, the amount of legacy crap in Windows.
They ought to just start over at some point.
Is that a real concern?
While I haven't diven into their codebase, that kind of thing tends to severely limit what developers can do to improve the product, slow them down, etc.
Be it new features, deeper UX improvements, performance optimizations... Basically anything you want to do with your progress, generally speaking, it's going to get harder the more legacy stuff you need to deal with.
