I’ve heard an ex microsoft employee said in a blog once that the windows team has no seniors. Anyone who has worked there for one or two years has left for better employers. Nobody knows how to refactor or maintain old codebases, so instead, they just write new things on top of the old things. The windows kernel has hardly changed since XP.
Windows Vista had lot of changes to the kernel. Windows 7 relaxed security features introduced in Vista. But nothing changed after that. They have been slapping ugly UI on top of existing kernel.
