Indeed, it is something better, Windows NT 6.0.

And it is irrelevant anyway, given that this comment was written from 10.0.26100.

Oh, I see.

You’re saying they improved the design. I know they added user-privilege device driver support for USB (etc).; did they revert the display compromise/mess as well?

Yes, now graphics drivers are mostly in userspace, with only a tiny driver in kernel space, miniport.

Hence why graphics usually no longer crash Windows, after a small black screen pause, everything continues as usual.
