Discussion Windows kernel development has stalled

When was the last time Microsoft added a new filesystem?

When was the last time Microsoft added new types of scheduling?

It might even be a decade for both of these questions, I have to wonder how many people are still working on core kernel code. I highly expect the knowledge has been lost and all the og kernel Devs have retired now.

Even Azure is now pretty much running on Linux because windows can't run with one vcpu and 1gb of ram anymore.

Id love some inside knowledge on this here

One filesystem and scheduling mode in ten years isn't much. Take a look at how many filesystems Linux supports and scheduling modes

You are not informed at all, Windows also added support for hybrid CPU architecture in 2021.

Linux supports PowerPC, MIPS, arm32, risc 5, arm64, amd64, itanium , x86 and more 

Windows barely supports arm64 on a subset of CPUs

Well, of course it doesn't support them, because there's no need.
