Well, your anecdote is certainly more influential to me than listening to a core developer. Plus I want to believe you are right because it feels bad to believe otherwise, so you are obviously correct.

Hmm, guess it sounds silly when I say it that way. I'll work on it.

Joking, I don't use Windows, but I hope you are right.

Yes Windows 11 is small enough that this one dude knows all there is to know about it. It is impossible this (former) core developer is wrong, lying or has an axe to grind.

Haha, can we even imagine how big the codebase is? Must be nutty. That's a cool thought.

Well, I have the same experience as tills13.

I'm glad to hear it, i think I may try it out on my spare laptop and see for myself too.

Andy Young was never a core Windows developer. He worked for Microsoft, yes, but his experience is in JavaScript, C# and other web technologies, not C/C++ and system level development.
