Why windows will collapse ultimately

Subject: [ntdev] WdfUsbTargetDeviceSendControlTransferSynchronously and timeouts

update: Like this wasn't enough. Below are excerpts from

find . -name \*dll |        xargs strings -- |        grep -i '^[a-z0-9_]*$' |        awk '{ print length($1) "\t" $1 }' |        sort -n

output (executed in WinXP system directory):

50      ZwAccessCheckByTypeResultListAndAuditAlarmByHandle
51      Java_NPDS_npDSJavaPeer_SetSendMouseClickEvents_stub
51      Java_NPDS_npDSJavaPeer_SetShowPositionControls_stub
51      JET_errDistributedTransactionNotYetPreparedToCommit
52      ACTIVATION_CONTEXT_SECTION_COM_INTERFACE_REDIRECTION

62      SxspGenerateTextuallyEncodedPolicyIdentityFromAssemblyIdentity
64      RtlpQueryAssemblyInformationActivationContextDetailedInformation
71      RtlpQueryFilesInAssemblyInformationActivationContextDetailedInformation

which probably gives us the champion. As a comparison, for linux-2.6.15

find . -type f -follow -name '*.[chS]' |        xargs grep -hi '[a-z0-9_]\{70,\}' -- /dev/null

gives:

70 ZORRO_PROD_PHASE5_BLIZZARD_1230_II_FASTLANE_Z3_CYBERSCSI_CYBERSTORM060

So windows is one character closer to hell than linux.
