The Windows OS Thread - Formerly THE OS for gamers and normies, now sadly ruined by Pajeets

[Slav Power]

you sure it's not one of those clean room code laundering projects where they get one ai to build a specification based on code binaries and get another to develop code based on those specificstions?

That's what ReactOS is, except that's been meticulously developed over decades, while this is just "Claude reverse engineer this, make no mistakes" flavor of the month FOSS slop.
Huh, that should be a term, FOSS slop. Garbage projects like these which only serve as clickbait fuel.

or even Windows 2000

Hilariously, Win2k wasn't even originally intended as a "consumer" OS, but was rather the "professional" counterpart to the consumer segment OS, ME. It really only saw home use because it was more stable and useful than 9x, had lower requirements than XP, and wasn't ME.

The idea they present in the ReadMe claims that they use AI to assist them with making the code function as close to windows in a clean-room manner, the specifics being in it's own file

"Windows 2000 Professional" wasn't intended for home use but Windows 2000 was intended to unify NT/9X and the intent had been for a Windows 2000 for home use. It just eventually morphed into Windows XP a bit later.
