WINSTART.BAT wasn’t a Win95 quirk — it’s a Windows 3.1 feature. 😄 It runs after DOS + AUTOEXEC.BAT but before the Windows kernel, letting you load TSRs that apply only to Windows programs. A tiny but clever VM‑era optimization. 👉 buff.ly/nk8n0c2

Slide titled "The Old New Thing" promoting a blog post "The little-known winstart.bat batch file," showing glasses on stacked books and a call to read the blog.

MSBuild binlog viewer downloads have fallen off the cliff since ~March: msbuildlog.com/stats/ My interpretation is that AI is solving MSBuild issues, as well as less and less people using MSBuild. Also hopefully modern MSBuild and SDK is more pit of success.

bar chart where downloads are growing until ~ September 2025, then falling rapidly in March, then falling again to a third of peak
