Talk:MinWin

Is MinWin leaked? If yes, where I can download it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.130.74.193 (talk) 22:41, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

MinWin is not its own OS
MinWin isnt quite... lets say this: Its not an actual OS on its own. Its part of the Windows 7 OS. Windows 7 is still in development. What I understand is that MinWin is just a completed kernel. Its moreover a nickname for what Windows 7 is so far (a minimalistic OS). (Though, it might be possible for Windows 7 to have a GUI interface, but we have not seen it yet) I think that this article should be merged with the Windows 7 article.

 * I nowhere see MinWin being claimed to be an OS. The first line in the article makes it clear that it is just the kernel. As I understand it, MinWin is the kernel to be used in Windows starting from Windows 7. So, no, I would not support its merge (plus merging the kernel into a general OS article would make that too technical; as such it is better in it own article - it will let us go deeper into the article as and when the info surfaces). --soum talk 07:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I also agree this should not be removed a) it is premature and b) there is clear direction this is independent of Win7 at this stage talk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.134.136.3 (talk) 04:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

MinWin is not in Windows 7
Microsoft never stated that they would release Windows 7 with the MinWin kernel. They stated that MinWin would be used for internal use only and would not be productized for 7. They only ran it on the little Windows 7 source code that they had made thus far in 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.240.243 (talk) 21:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * They said MinWin is (a small part of) the Windows 7 source code. They said it would not be productized on its own, only as part of Windows. - Josh (talk | contribs) 22:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Ars
Ars Technica has good article about MinWin. I thought to link it here too. Inside "MinWin:" the Windows 7 kernel slims down

They get the facts together with it and write about how it's going to affect future windows releases. --Dekonega (talk) 14:43, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
