Mad C Skillz OEMG

I want to jump to the next level in C. I'm a quite skilled programmer for what I do, know the whole K&R but I feel like I miss something, especially about those weird techniques proPROgrammers use in OS dev and related. Suggested readings?

Congratulations for recognising it for what it was intended: not a troll.

Unix and Multics solved different problems and so, it's not good analogy for Unix vs. Windows. Windows originated as a toy system (a GUI on top of a CP/M clone). Systems far superior to Windows existed at that particular time. Over time, MS have been bolting on various technologies to the Windows system as their attempt to maintain relevance. It also doesn't help that MS is committed to trap users to their systems as one method used for achieving this goal is aim of legacy binary object support. While the NT system was a chance of improving the Windows brand as it wouldn't be hindered by legacy requirements, MS killed the potential by strapping in legacy support. Windows is a toy system not worth my time.
