What OS Kernel is in XP?

I made a comment to a friend, who works professionally in CT as a data base programmer, that is hardware worked in W2K, it would probably work in XP because they shared the same kernel, He replied as follows:

NOPE .. XP is a UNIX based kernel .. not only that, but any software not specifically designed for XP will be emulated for the old windows kernel threading. XP has much potential, but poorly implemented and dangerously default configured with many features on that need not be .. perfect as drones in a DDOS attack

If there is no XP driver, there is no running the hardware. Instead of using memory blocking, threading has to be written into the instruction set - not hard to do, but none of this stuff is open source, so if the company wants to squeeze its customers nuts, it can.

Can any professional out there shed some light or clarify this?😎
 
Windows XP is based on Windows 2000, which is based on Windows NT.

You are correct in that if it worked in Win2K, it will probably work in WinXP.
 
yeah xp is 2k kernel which is nt kernel, which was made by bsd guys but of course fccked up by MS.

it doesnt emulate crap,(well..dos?) if it worked on nt or 2k it should be fine, same with 9x.

No, NT is not BSD-based. WinNT was made by the same team that collaborated with IBM to make OS/2.
 

Windows 2000 = NT kernel 5.0


Windows XP = NT kernel 5.1 (see how little has actually changed other than a few little tools trown in and a gui for your mommy?)
