Can't understand why Window still uses CRLF line endings. Just to be different?

Because thats what people did on serial terminals, which preceeded CP/M which preceeded Windows.

Backward compability really matters. Windows has been always obsessed with compability. Guys in MS keeps max 255 characters long path just because of backward compability.

Right after Windows give up CRLF line endings, it will be immediate compability disaster.

Why not? If something works, why break it? HTTP uses CRLF as well. Should we redesign it?
