No one is suggesting paging the kernel. Stop being paranoid about that.

Ah.. Excellent.. That's such a relief to hear :)

We are speaking about API interfaces for user apps and drivers.
Whatever that implies, will be examined on a case by case basis. ;P

Good.. Then we are in full agreement :)

I'll sink my teeth into Timo's epic when I can.
I'm hoping there's some way we can avoid the mess SxS is causing on e.g my Win7.
(I must have 10 versions of each RTL since 2oo5 installed by SxS ,
and dito with comctl32 versions, all with these obnoxiously long names.)

Server 2oo3 might not be used in big corporations anymore,
but I think it's not uncommon to keep running it in small companies
and home servers (due to high licensing cost of Windows server versions).
Anyway.. IMO there's nothing wrong in moving towards NT6x API-wise,
as long as we're not forced to re-architect the *core* of the system
(scheduler, et c). Paging the kernel would be a big mistake.
