> Windows NT is riddled with excess abstractions that were never really used primarily because they were there from the start before there was a real plan to use them.

It is? Like what? I know there are some abstractions for cpu architecture etc but they've come in handy for x64 and now arm and others in the past.

I know the author certainly has some insight into this but I've never really thought of NT as being riddled with excess abstractions.



It's possible that he's referring to purely internal interfaces?
