HN discussionThat's because ELF allows symbol interposition and PE (Portable Executable) doesn't have a comparable feature. Symbol interposition doesn't come without a price, though, and is often criticized: https://www.macieira.org/blog/2012/01/sorry-state-of-dynamic... | https://www.airs.com/blog/archives/307 | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8029564

HN discussion> Even open source (which is 100% unpaid labor) Actually, work on major projects is typically paid labour. For example, if you look at the Qt project, only about 10% of contributions come from individuals. Most of the other 90% of contributions come from people with employers paying for the work. http://www.macieira.org/blog/qt-stats/
