I remember the smashing the stack for fun and profit windows days. It was so easy to inject shell code it was laughable. Btw can you still name a file smss.exe, run it, and not end the process with the task manager?

I just tried this on Windows 10 1903 and had no problem ending the process with task manager.

The majority of the Windows haters I come across seem to be the same.

I haven’t ran Windows outside a VM (and only then for FPGA/ASIC programming tools) in the better part of a decade myself and loathe every second of the time I do run it in a VM, yet I still think you are out of line here.

Maybe consider cooling off before posting more?

Perhaps your arguments would be more persuasive if you didn't immediately label anyone who disagrees with you a "fanboi".

Or if there was literally any substance to them besides ranting and whining.
