techcommunity.microsoft.comMicrosoft did an unfortunately great job at silencing Mark Russinovich by hiring him. I really miss these kind of posts from him. I enjoyed them very much. Including all those useful tools he made and stopped making when Microsoft hired him.

But we can use other tools for the job. Hah. Nice.
Being used to everything in the open as a Linux user, articles like these lifting the veil from Windows internals never cease to fascinate. I wonder how far Windows 10 could survive.
Windows 10 is a complicated mess. It would indeed be impressive if someone managed to do this with Windows 10.
Compared to Linux Windows 10 is a malicious bloatware operating system designed to prevent you from removing the bloat and the user hostile stuff. Which is why I think it's not possible to do this with Windows 10.
