Windows 10 Taskbar

Name: Anonymous 2018-03-11 7:41

It has been more than 20 years since Windows 95, and taksbar still doesn't function properly:

It is like I'm using some crappy Linux, developed by hobbyists. And I remember pretty clearly that Windows XP had properly working taskbar. So why it is so broken now? Have Microsoft decided to turn their OS into Linux? Guess it is finally the year of Linux desktop!

You cannot complain about modifying proprietary software because
1) From the very beginning, you're supposed to accept that you're not allowed to access the source code
2) You're supposed to accept that reversing is the only way to modify the software
3) Reversing without source code is an inherently impractical way of working
4) You've actually chosen to accept these conditions

So to complain about the impracticality of studying reversed code is pretty stupid because you could have rejected the proprietary software in the first place and saved yourself the effort. If you actually think this is fun to do, then you wouldn't be complaining about the impracticality of modifying reversed code.

So what about free game recreations, drivers and other software? I believe that it is legitimate to study reversed code in order to create a set of software specifications, and not for the purpose of modifying the binary program. There is one (or more) person dedicated to creating that specification; this person is totally distinct to the person who is recreating software from that specification.
