The main thing that would be of interest to me:
- Have they replaced/improved the NT kernel [1]?
- Have they replaced the ancient registry? [2]
The answer to either was not to be found. I'll bet windows 11 will still be a backwards-compatible mess if the answer to either is `no`.

- okamiueru 5y agoI would also be surprised if there are significant changes. Windows is a marvel at being backwards compatible, which I doubt they will be able to get away from. Here's to hoping. Do you know when that dev conference is? Edit: Saw your edit answered my question. Thanks :)
