@jerry The windows vuls are still pouring out but it's easier to hunt on linux because the source is available

@jerry Someone, somewhere in a ‘C’ suite, who thinks they have their finger on the pulse, is asking a tired Tech Director that question.

Betcha.

At MS, there was a big project to unify all of the Windows-derived things. Apparently some folks had a build working that booted to WSL, with no Win32k. I did wonder how secure that would be: at the very least, I doubt there are many people who know how to attack the NT kernel via the Linux syscall interface.
