Wow, I didnt think Paul Thurrott as someone who wouldn't know what MinWin is... yet he doesn't have a clue

Major changes:
Kernel. Windows 7 will feature an evolved kernel and underpinnings when compared to its previous-generation predecessors, Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008. While it's unclear whether the "MinWin" kernel that Microsoft demonstrated in 2007 will be included with Windows 7

I might let him know that MinWin is just the same kernel but modularized, Microsoft used the term MinWin to say the kernel is not linked into other components outside the kernel (like XP and all other versions of Windows where until Vista)

During the Longhorn beta Microsoft modularized the kernel by separating it from the Windows source-tree making the kernel miniature, very stable, flexible and reusable so they dubbed it MinWin.
