Is Mach-O on OS X or ELF on Linux any more or less sad?
Don't know about Mach-O, but ELF is actually a rather nice and clean design. Much of the hate PE gets is because of the silly overloading with .NET assemblies.
It annoys me mildly that .NET requires you to have a little native stub in assemblies, but the Windows loader does not actually execute it.
- The PDF takes forever to render in Adobe PDF Reader 9. - The Content-Type of the SVG is text/plain so Firefox doesn't render it. - The JPG has a Content-Disposition of "attachment" so Firefox forces me to download it locally. Not a pleasant experience.
For any new reverse engineers in Hacker Newsland, another win32 PE classic is Ero Carrera's diagram from 2005: https://www.openrce.org/reference_library/files/reference/PE...
This is great but why is English the only version that is in jpg rather than png?

Oh yeah, and now also WinRT metadeta. It annoys me mildly that .NET requires you to have a little native stub in assemblies, but the Windows loader does not actually execute it.
