I work on the NT kernel and DirectX, I'll definitely take a look at this over the weekend.


hey, I'm the person embarking on the project, thanks for checking it out!

one of the big reasons I started this project is that I've really been wanting to work on a project that deals with bootloader and kernel level code, and doing Windows bringup on the M1 seemed like a really interesting thing to tackle.

While initial progress might be slow, it is indeed happening, I'm planning to post an update tonight actually, but I realize you're busy so feel free to check the website whenever you have a free moment. (It's basic I know i'm not a web person lol)


Did you start working since the Windows NT era? I'm curious.

IMHO, windows things aside, the NT kernel is an impressive feat of engineering and I'm surprised it's still going after so many years.


Unfortunately, I was born little after NT was already introduced :)

It indeed is really an impressive feat of engineering, but really almost all existing OS platforms are essentially from pre-2000s. Even fushcia's magenta (iirc LK was inspired by BeOS, the author worked at Danger prior).
