Bad architecture ? Compared to Linux ? I refute that on the strongest.
F.ex: Linux lacks, even to this day, a unified graphics API like GDI (X-Windows notwithstanding), and window manager. Instead they have a plethora of disparate kludges and hacks on top of X-Windows, all more or less cumbersome to use. The API flora of the Windows architecture should, by rights, make Linux programmers green with envy ;-) (Why do you think the WinE project was born in the first place?)
