| No 'MinWin' Kernel for Windows 7, Still NT Based
Despite previous expectations of a possible kernel overhaul, Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky has confirmed the next-generation Windows 7 operating system will continue to build upon the existing NT kernel architecture. Quote:
We're very clear that drivers and software that work on Windows Vista are going to work really well on Windows 7; in fact, they'll work the same. We're going to not introduce additional compatibilities, particularly in the driver model. Windows Vista was about improving those things. We are going to build on the success and the strength of the Windows Server 2008 kernel, and that has all of this work that you've been talking about. The key there is that the kernel in Windows Server 08 is an evolution of the kernel in Windows Vista, and then Windows 7 will be a further evolution of that kernel as well.
