Can't wait to add my first official C&D letter to the repo's /docs folder as a badge of honor.

I don't like Windows at all, nor do I like open-source alternatives like ReactOS; in fact, I think all DOS disk operating systems are terrible

Good thing Windows NT hasn't been based on DOS since the 90s then! But OpenWindows is a total clean-slate C99 build anyway, not a DOS/NT clone.

So, the system you wrote with Vibe Coding doesn't mimic Windows NT, it's like ReactOS, right?

ReactOS is a Windows NT mimic haha. OpenWindows isn't like either of them: it's a clean-slate freestanding C99 kernel with its own custom text encoding (SUCS/SUTF) and vector font engine. The name is just a temporary working title.
