Well modern OS's actually do have some ability to detect undesirable behavior. But yes it is quite hard to know what 3rd party software will do. However that doesnt mean MS cant fix the problem because obviously it is.

Of course it is slower than if less features. However the "slowness" is not really a problem because its not really slow. It runs quite fast for most things. And the algorithms used in modern OS's are crazy complicated yet super efficient. So bringing up that Windows is slow is irrelevant.

No, actually I do have some idea the inner workings of Windows XP. Windows XP is like other modern OS's (Solaris, Unix, etc) in a very high-level way. Fundamentally there isnt much difference between modern OS's. They all have a protected core kernel. Yes they do have different implementations for different things. But memory allocation is about the same, pagefile swapping is about the same, etc. The overall designs are quite similar, its the details that are different.
And if you must know, Ive written parts of a Solaris-like OS. I had to unfortunately. I find OS design and programming boring, but whatever.

True nor do I care.
