    The NT kernel is built on top of a hardware abstraction layer, which should make it easier to port it to different architectures.

    It's a neat kernel, shame about the Windows on top of it.

      Yeah, porting the kernel is the “easy” part for any OS. Its the user space and building up a software ecosystem for the new architecture that is a pain in the ass.

      To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂
