If this is "just" sending keystrokes to notepad.exe, as in "ctrl-a, del, lots of keystrokes until one frame is done", then I'm actually more impressed by the speed keystrokes and redrawing are handled in the good ol' Win32 EDIT field.
I wonder what went wrong. I can't see today's MS ever living up to what the NT and desktop team delivered ~20 years ago.
Its baffling to think that the same company is responsible for Teams.
I get it, Teams may not work perfectly on every setup. But the same goes with practically all enterprise-level videoconferencing solutions.
Already Google Apps has made a strong play, and Microsoft is doing quite a good job defending. Teams is only a part of it.
And there’s also mobile, which they lost entirely. That could be a risk, too, and they know it.
Businesses they still have a stranglehold, but even there I've noticed it loosening.
Guess we're in a revival of the 70s/80s mainframes with dumb terminals again.
Is that also your overall estimate on how long the mobile paradigm will overtake the desktop one? I would guesstimate that to a decade, or a decade and a half at most, with the degeneration of written language following closely.
In an absolutely symmetric comparison, the Germans first gave us Goethe, and then..
Same company, but different teams I guess :)
I've altered the contents of the gedit text editor within a linux VM, via PTRACE_ATTACH and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT/PTRACE_POKETEXT, to find and modify the text.
Except, that would mean notepad updates the display as the file changes, and I didn't think it did that. So I think I've got something wrong.
