Edits to Windows NT by 94.122.113.28

I'm guessing that the edits you reverted may have been done with the "help" of some tool - perhaps all they meant to do was put assembly language at the beginning of the list of implementation languages (a bogus thing to do, as I suspect there's about 1% or less of NT source code, even NT core kernel and low-level user-mode code, in assembler language), but the tool moved some of the templates from the top and moved or removed some blank lines.

(Or maybe they thought it was somehow a Good Thing to move the templates from the top. Also bogus.)

In either case, reverting them was the right thing to do. Guy Harris (talk) 22:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

It's far less than 1% even of the kernel, even using MS's definition of the kernel (separate from other user-mode code). Only a few routines in the kernel and the HAL are in AL. Examples: the first stages of interrupt and exception handling; thread context switching; I/O port and register access. Jeh (talk) 03:14, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
