If true, it must be a thin client then. I just can't imagine they'll rewrite the kernel in Rust. That would be awesome, but super error prone if they're going to try to maintain backward compatibility. GUI in Rust is also painful, so I doubt it's that either.

Don't quote me on this but i recall seeing something a while back about how a significant part of the windows kernel was already ported to rust. The windows kernel has been fairly decoupled from the UI layer for a while, that was one of the big efforts in the 8.1 and 10 versions: to have a core that xbox, phone, and desktop could all share.

Huh, it looks like Windows 11 is including Rust to some degree in the kernel. I wonder how far they'll take it.
