Funny that the reverse has already happened due to Apple's lackluster support of PWAs. PWAs run with the system's browser engine, unlike Electron apps that ship with their own customized Chromium engine. Each app is only a few megabytes tops, unlike the hundreds of megabytes of bloat native apps tend to take up nowadays.

Indeed, many of Ventoy's magic come from GRUB2, Ventoy just wins in ease of use by autodetecting whatever's tossed onto the drive without manually editing the boot menu.

Just following the footsteps of Huawei, forking existing projects, making superficial changes and tacking a new skin on it.

Claiming to be a new OS when it isn't is the modern China equivalent of Sega's "blast processing", it's marketing fluff to lure customers.

Personally I would follow Microsoft's guide on partitioning [1] mostly, except the recovery partition which I skip creating. If Windows needs it they will auto create it again anyways in the next major update.

Then I use WinNTSetup [2], just point it to where the Windows setup files are, and which partition is the boot partition (EFI partition) and which partition is to become C:.

Some other interesting information regarding Hong Kong, and also Macau:

1. Country calling codes: Hong Kong (+852), Macau (+853) and China (+86) are still separate;

2. Passport country code: Hong Kong and Macau passports issued before Chinese rule use HKG and MAC respectively. This is changed to match China's code, CHN, causing much confusion in customs officers in many countries unfamiliar with the situation.

3. During Japanese occupation, officials tried renaming various places in Hong Kong to Japanese names, but gave up when it brought nothing but tedious red tape.

China does not need to touch the .hk TLD, when the brand is already infiltrated and tarnished. Look at the number of totally-from-Hong-Kong companies with Hong Kong addresses, phone numbers and domain names, completely run by China-Chinese QXJZ nationals.
