CTOnews.com May 11, last month, David Weston, vice president of enterprise and operating system security for Microsoft, attended the BlueHat IL 2023 meeting and announced that Rust would be included in the Windows kernel. Microsoft says the change won't take long, just weeks or months.

According to Twitter user Mark Russinovich, traces of Rust code have appeared in the internal version of Windows 11 Insider, in which the Win32k.sys kernel mode (KM) driver files have been migrated to Rust.

CTOnews.com Note: Win32k.sys handles the graphics device interface (GDI) and window management on Windows.

Microsoft said in a previous demonstration that Rust found no obvious performance anomalies in its internal test scenarios and that Win32k's Rust GDI port passed all tests when launched on Windows. Weston also explains why you should switch to Rust refactoring, one of the important reasons is memory security.
