Really wish someone would just take the win95 UI code and tell an LLM to make it work on the win11 74 bit kernel

It won't compile.

Probably the 10 extra bits.

The extra 84 win have to go somewhere
kachapopopow•31m ago
11 more and it will run on win95 again.

Did you try it?

I can't immediately see why explorer.exe wouldn't run and give you a start menu

I prefer to believe they just merged the two branches in SourceSafe.
plorkyeran•1h ago
Microsoft never used SourceSafe for anything important internally.

Hmm. Not sure I agree. The initial CLR for .net was in vss. Maybe it wasn’t important, but bonus points if you know why.
shawnb576•25m ago
No definitely not true. It was in Source Depot if not SLM.
Traubenfuchs•29m ago
Personally, I enjoyed MS source safe and exclusive file locking.
