Rewrite Microsoft Windows (core) in Rust #100

Microsoft is rewriting core Windows libraries in the Rust programming language, and the more memory-safe code is already reaching developers.

Microsoft's adoration of Rust does have limits. "Rewriting Windows in Rust probably isn't going to happen anytime soon," said Weston, "so while we love Rust, we need a strategy that also includes securing more of our native code."
