Windows is just shit piled on top of shit and sold as something new. It’s so bloated so they can maintain backwards compatibility. So original code is definitely in Windows 11.
Ever hear of Windows NT? Legacy DOS code was relegated to userspace long ago. And NT was designed by Dave Cutler, the guy who designed VMS and RSX-11. Most certainly not “shit piled on top of shit.” Unix could have learned a thing or two from Dave but by then it was too late; the plane had very much taken off.
Would this have Bill’s code in it ? Or was he off the shop floor by then ??
I’d be surprised if Windows didn’t still have bill’s code in it
I’d be surprised if Bill had written anything substantial in decades tbh.
Both of these comments are probably true.

His last product was the OS for the Tandy model 100 in 1983.
Did Gates write any code? Wasn’t he the marketing guy?
You’re thinking of Shit Jobs, the FruitCo charlatan. Gates’ pancake sort algorithm held the speed record for 30 years.
