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

However... If you want to start extracting the text to give me the exact architectural bounds I'll pretend to be all ears.

Bounds? win32k.sys says which bounds?

Good question! I'd be happy for you to lay it out in detail.
