First Rust Code Shows Up in Windows 11 Kernel

Mark Russinovich has been, to me, a model of inspiration -and admiration- for many years.
I don't know how he keeps going.

Can confirm it's NOT in Release Preview insider, but I didn't think it would be

I can confirm it's in the Canary channel build 25357.

I can confirm it's not currently in the Beta or Dev channels.

Hi folks
I really have to wonder why for around 99% of non corporate Windows users anybody needs to be concerned with this stuff. I've used Linux for around 30 years and never had any problems with any sort of hack even though at one time the old UNIX UUP->UUP thing was a possible nightmare.

Why would any hacker whatsoever spend time, energy costs and a lot of work in trying to winkle 50 USD out from my bank account. It would cost them more money and time to do it even if they were successful.

Many more tasty profitable ventures for them to look at -- e.g the Brit NHS --creaking already -- a N.Korean Hacker could probably demolish the whole thing in about 5 mins flat although that system probably wouldn't have a spare 10 USD over to pay the guy to fix it. I believe it was hacked successfully around 2 years ago too.

Aren't some of these people just creating paranoia in trying to save their jobs on providing C20 solutions to C21 conditions when both the Windows OS and its security were about as leaky as a sieve. W11 these days with WD is about as robust as it can get on security on domestic computers. Whether you like Ms or regard it as "The Evil Empire" you really are living in Cloud Cuckoo Land if you think basic W11 security is rubbish these days, The unfortunate thing was they called their security system WD -- which on W7 / W8 /W8.1 was rediculous and a total joke. They should have renamed it for W10/W11.

By all means go for better security but some of the stuff that's coming from Windows tech's these days and 3rd party A/V security software vendors is just total "Make the Customer scared so he / she will buy our product".
