Probably because after Windows 7 they started a kernel rewrite , known as MinWin, to extricate the Win32 Userland tendrils that had crept into the Kernel since the NT days.

- container 9y agoThe article doesn't seem to indicate that MinWin started after Windows 7. If there has been a fundamental kernel change effort after Win7 (I'm not aware of one), maybe it has a different name?
- cptskippy 9y agoYou're right, for some reason my brain said Vista came after Windows 7. Given that 7 came after Vista my theory makes no sense.
