History and development
The idea of replacing the NT kernel has been around since the launch of Windows 12 in 2024. Windows 12 shows that the NT kernel is so old and outdate that Windows had two ways to release updates and versions.
One was to rewrite the NT kernel to modernize and future proof it. That direction became Project QNT, when a team believe that the NT kernel need to be replace with a futureproof kernel. which will require rewriting in the next few decades. The project was name “Uranium.”
Uranium had much better progress than QNT as uranium rolled out on a weekly basis. About a month before the unveiling of Windows 13, the two projects were merge into Project Palisade in early 2028 to develop the next major version of Windows.
In July 2029, Palisade will be unveile at Microsoft’s next event. Palisade used most of its development to demonstrate quantum kernels. Microsoft has state that Insider Preview builds will be release in the summer of 2029 Windows 13 Insider will have the longest development cycle in history, with more than 18 Insider builds release in 10-month cycles.
