Why haven't some Chinese hackers financially backed by some shady Chinese conglomerate reverse-engineered Windows and recreated the source code from scratch yet?
They probably have but you just don't know about it.

It would be an extremely difficult and time consuming process. The time spent reverse engineering windows could be used to instead create a far better OS.

Like MenuetOS
I don't think you understand how reverse engineering works. You don't understand how much time you need to invest to analyze the most trivial of operations.
>>55423091
not even windows engineers who have access to the code know how that shit works anymore, how can chinese reverse engineers do anything
>>55423091
Because why would they? Said shady Chinese hackers find it easier to just pirate Windows.
They're very good at finding the easiest way, you know.
>>55423091
They did except it was actually the Russians and they called it ReactOS.

Oh the real burning question you should be asking, is since when were you under the impression that the Windows Update servers have not been hacked?
