Would it be possible to compile this for other archetictures? I was thinking either ARM (and beat MS to the punch), or possible Apple PowerPC just because we could.

IBM PowerPC… OpenNT… Is it supposed to be an open Windows NT?

Cool project you got here Kenneth. I haven't looked at any downloads yet, but is this based on the leaked code, or are everything written from scratch?

Kenneth, I was wondering and please do not take offense to this, but how much time do you spend working with OSes? (is it related to your job or just a hobby? etc.)

Are you planning on borrowing code from the Samba and WINE projects. This is basically how REACTOS (similar project only with NT 5.1) is doing a lot of their work.

I believe Kenneth is writing every last scrap of code himself. Besides, Samba, WINE and ReactOS wouldn't help him at all since none of them can run PE executables from October 1991.

Implementing a subset of the Windows API IS possible as a one man project. The developer of HX-DOS has written his own DOS extender,then added a PE loader and a partial Win32 API, all in asm!
