winKh

WinKh is a software project that aims to provide a Windows kernel replacement for the Linux operating system. The project was initiated by Microsoft and is open-source, licensed under the GPLv2. WinKh is designed to run on top of the Linux kernel, allowing users to run Windows applications and drivers on Linux systems. It is not a full Windows operating system, but rather a compatibility layer that enables Windows software to run on Linux.

WinKh is built on top of the ReactOS project, which is an open-source implementation of the Windows NT operating system. ReactOS provides the core operating system functionality, while WinKh adds the necessary components to run Windows applications and drivers. This includes a Windows-compatible system call interface, a Windows-compatible file system, and a Windows-compatible graphics subsystem.

WinKh is still in its early stages of development, and as of now, it is not yet ready for production use. However, it has the potential to be a valuable tool for developers and users who need to run Windows software on Linux systems. The project is actively maintained and developed by a community of contributors, and new features and improvements are regularly added.
