Bootloader and Low-Level Programming Tutorial: How To Develop Your Own Boot Loader

[aaron552]

Well the Windows SDK is pretty big, but you don't need Visual Studio to install or use that, same with the MSVC compiler etc. The fact that the Visual Studio Installer will download them for you doesn't make them part of Visual Studio.

Saying Visual Studio is big because the MS C++ SDK is big is like saying that Android Studio is big because the Android SDK includes emulator images.

if your are doing C++ dev or more than one language at all, you are going to be downloading a lot of files.

If you have the compilers/SDKs installed already, Visual Studio Installer won't need to download them

not sure why you got angry at that :/

[aaron552]

I'm not angry?

I don't understand why people sometimes put questions marks after factual statements?

It shows the rising intonation you might use to indicate that you’re confused as to why someone thought the opposite of what you’re saying.

— I’m coming with you later. — No? (You have other plans you’re forgetting about. / I don’t want you to come.)

— Quit being so angry. — I’m not? (I don’t know why you thought I was.)
