#2Who the hell thought it was a good idea to let people write operating systems. Asking for trouble if you ask me.

#3Nice write up, I really enjoy these types of postmortems. Also, the best issues are always ones you can blame upstream for :D
Side note, does anyone have experience using Excelsior Jet to deploy natively compiled applications or services?

#4The poster does not give any blame to who ever came up with this:
> 1. Right-click on your desktop and select New Folder 2. Type in or copy and paste the following as the name: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} 3. Hit Enter and the folder icon will change to GodMode 4. Enjoy easy access to all Windows 10 settings!
I know that the exception came from GetDisplayNameOf handling it incorrectly, but this whole thing begs the question:
Why is this a good way to do shortcuts?

Was about to ask the same. Also wondering how excelsiorjet's business is going, now that Java has AOT compilation out of the box. Or hasn't it?

the godmode feature is undocumented probably _because_ it's a terrible way to do shortcuts.

It doesn't. AIUI jlink creates a binary image of the VM + referenced classes. AOT is a lot easier to do with modules implemented and I'm sure it's on the roadmap, but not available yet.

#8At the risk of sounding trite, this reminds me an awful lot of the "Missingno" glitches in the Red and Blue Pokemon Gameboy games.

"Let"? Given the limited intelligence of other Earth species, I'm unsure how else operating systems would've been developed.

I suspect that you missed fhood's joke, or else I missed yours.
(It is not unreasonable to suppose that another path to the existence of operating systems would be the, perhaps human-guided, evolution of progressively less primitive programs. I am not sure that I'd want to use the result, but it's at least a conceiveable way for history to have developed.)
