Huber> And there were times...
“I first heard about this from one of the developers of the popular game SimCity, who told me about a critical mistake in their program: it used memory immediately after it was released. The main taboo, the violation of which was said goodbye in DOS, but is punished in Windows, where the released memory is immediately crushed by another working application. Testers in the Windows development team tested a lot of popular apps to make sure it all worked smoothly, but SimCity hanged. They informed Windows developers, who disassembled SimCity, step by step in the debugger finding an error, and added a special code that checks for SimCity in memory and runs the memory distributor in special mode, in which SimCity is allowed to use the memory after it is released.

xxx> That is, even when they were face to face with the user, the face was still like the ass. and wicked! The costume! for a specific program. Instead of simply adding a box to the compatibility properties — “keep the app released memory until the next allocation!” And if you want full automation, let it stand there by default for the SS.
That would be when I realized that M$ should be putting your hands off the ass :(
