VxKex (extended kernel) project dissapeared

[NotHereToPlayGames]

Not to be misread, though I am aware of how "easily" a comment like that can be MISREAD.

Personally, I feel that Microsoft (albeit the owner of the Operating System being "extended") should basically turn a blind eye and ADMIT that the userbase of such "extensions" is so TINY that said userbase DOES NOT cut into their "bottom line".

But I guess at the same time, I have to also look at the CROWDSTRIKE issue that took out the airline industry a week or so ago.

Some blame MICROSOFT for that instead of CROWDSTRIKE.

So MICROSOFT does have to "defend" its code if an attack even on MODIFIED CODE by "third paries" affects MICROSOFT'S "reputation".

Why would you intentionally post fakes on the forum, even after the others here asked not to.

Some folks are like children, do the opposite. Or may be he really is, we can't see his age.

To me, even POSReady2009 is a "leaked" entity being ILLEGALLY used by "thousands".

What is POSReady2009? And how it's related to Win7 Kernel? Win7 was released only at the end of 2009.

Sending an official letter and receiving the official letter are two different things.

I have never been a fan of "extended kernels" but do acknowledge that there is a "communal need" for them.

I myself would never provide GitHub with a "real" email address if I were publishing "extended kernels" of a Microsoft Operating System on a Microsoft-owned web site.

I'd be better served customising a shirt with a bullseye symbol and walking around with a picket sign to offend anybody and everybody that would see me carrying the picket sign.

They send it via inbox at github, that would be my guess since I don't have an acc. there. Probably they even have a warning system, also.

Microsoft has no jurisdiction over Canada and/or Australia. Win32 already explained (with the links to the laws, look for the post at his account), modifying isn't prohibited in Canada.

Neither of us ("TINY userbase") reside in the US, so we don't actually care.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

It kind of doesn't work that way.  GitHub is located in the USA.  GitHub cannot host content that violates USA Law.

Is there a GitHub-like platform in Canada or Australia?  If so, solution sounds pretty simple to me, move it to that platform.

I know I'm a simple mind, but it really does sound that simple to me.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

But I also reiterate - it really is my opinion that Microsoft should just IGNORE such a TINY userbase.

Why spend "thousands" in resources just to hunt down a small handful of users and "shut 'em down" when that userbase really poses NOTHING to the "bottom line"?

In this weird modern World, it doesn't work the way you assume. The US hosts a super large portion of openly anti-American population, most of them aren't even citizens, they broke all the laws, yet they aren't deported, they are even subsidised.

It's the same with the github since they are an American entity, they resonate on the same (current) agenda frequencies. Also, regarding github, github works for the international market, they can't just throw away whomever they don't like.

Or they would've needed to implement the only US members demand.

I think they do ignore, and the project gone due to the tiredness of the developer, but then again, it's a speculation since we saw no statement, even though he is a current member.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

All true.

Though I myself wouldn't label the developer a "current" member - when has he last logged in?

edit - I see he logged in four days ago, so yeah, that is "current" - but I see no posts from him in this thread.  I suspect he PMs more than he posts.

US entities must comply with US (rather than Russian, Canadian, or Sharia) law. Simply how US law works.

GitHub may take down content violating US law and GitHub TOS -- legal and reasonable.

It is sufficient for foreign nationals to adhere to US law and GitHub TOS when using GitHub. Why would you want a more restrictive policy?

Me? No, I don't want anything from them, I'm not a member there, I only join Western European websites (like MSFN, and it's located in France).

I adhere to the laws of my country, it is sufficient for me.

Any user, who is going to join, needs to be warned in advance that he will be forced to adhere to the laws of the welcoming entity.

Does github practise such policies? If no warning or demand follows, we could only give a flying frenkel.

Please don't place Canadian laws in one row with those, it's no good to lump them altogether.
