Original: Why Windows 11 still ships with Windows 95's memory manager hidden inside it
Windows Latest explains that Windows 11 still ships with the memory manager code dating back to Windows 95, nearly three decades after its introduction. The article traces how core parts of Microsoft's memory management have survived every major Windows release, kept for compatibility with legacy applications, and why Microsoft has chosen to build around this old foundation rather than replace it outright.
Why now: Readers are fascinated that modern Windows still depends on decades-old core code for backward compatibility.
