Microsoft «kills a feature that protected «older» versions of Windows 11 — and no one knows why

Microsoft «kills a feature that protected «older» versions of Windows 11 — and no one knows why

Microsoft will discontinue support for virtualization-based security enclaves (VBS enclaves) in Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 22H2, as well as in Windows Server versions 2022, 2019, and 2016. Support for VBS enclaves will only be retained in Windows 11 version 24H2 and later, and in Windows Server 2025 and later. VBS enclaves enhance memory operation security by creating virtual trust levels within a Trusted Execution Environment. Microsoft previously addressed a privilege escalation vulnerability within VBS enclaves (CVE-2025-21370) and plans to integrate the Rust programming language into the Windows kernel starting with Windows 11 version 23H2 in 2024.

Bill Gates Has Published the Original Microsoft Source Code

Bill Gates shared the original source code that founded Microsoft on his Gates Notes blog to commemorate the company's 50th anniversary. This code was inspired by a January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics featuring the Altair 8800, which led Gates and Paul Allen to create a version of the BASIC programming language for it. After two months of coding, they successfully presented the software to MITS, leading to the birth of their company, initially named Micro-Soft. The legacy of this endeavor is now available for download. In related news, Melinda French Gates is releasing a book titled The Next Day on April 15, where she discusses her emotional struggles leading up to her divorce from Bill Gates, including his admission of infidelity and his associations with Jeffrey Epstein.

Here’s the original source code for Microsoft’s very first product

Bill Gates marked Microsoft’s 50th Anniversary by unveiling the source code for Altair Basic, a programming language interpreter developed for the MITS Altair 8800 microcomputer. This 157-page PDF is available for download on Gates' blog. Altair Basic was created in 1975 by Gates, Paul Allen, and Monte Davidoff, who worked intensively for two months after being inspired by the Altair 8800. They chose to develop an interpreter instead of a compiler to provide instant feedback for novice programmers. MITS licensed the software from Gates and Allen, leading to the founding of Micro-soft. The full code document is now accessible, along with a web page featuring animations and graphics celebrating this early coding project.
