Updated redirecting URL in external links+refs and added archive URL. But I don't think this is sufficient evidence for the claims for which it's cited. It states that GINA DLLs are ignored in Vista, but says nothing about Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11. The URL refers to Win32, so we don't know how much of it applies to 64-bit Windows. And there are no sources cited for GINA being used in XP and 2000. As for initial processes e.g. the shell, these are not mentioned on the page.
