How long until someone reverse-engineers Windows?
Original: Ask HN: How long before someone reverse-engineers Windows?
A Hacker News discussion asks how long it will be before someone fully reverse-engineers Microsoft's Windows operating system. The question taps into long-standing interest in rebuilding proprietary software from scratch, similar to past projects like ReactOS and Wine, and is drawing engagement from the developer community.
Why now: Reverse-engineering a major proprietary OS raises questions about legality, feasibility and open-source alternatives, prompting debate among developers.
