Over the past week, a number of users reported that they had to compare the Windows and Linux kernels.
Approved: Fortect
The main difference between the Windows kernel and the Linux kernel is that the Windows kernel, which may reside in the Windows operating system, is commercial software, while the Linux kernel using the Linux operating system is commercial software. -software. The kernel resides inside the operating system.
The kernel, along with the operating system of a computer, is the most important component. [1] References to system kernels can give an idea of the design and architectural decisions that have been madespecific operating systems.
Criteria Comparison
The tables compare the general and technical characteristics of a number of widely used and currently available operating system kernels. For more information, see the articles for each product.
While there are a large number as well as a large number of Linux distributions available, these kernels are all grouped under a single entry in these tables, as the exact differences between them lie in location. See Comparison of Linux Distributions for a detailed comparison. Linux distributions that receive heavily modified kernels – such as real-time kernel detection – should be listed separately. There are also many BSD operating systems, many of which can be found by comparing BSD operating systems.
The tables clearly do not contain any subjective opinion about the merits of each kernel or operating system. For this choice of information, please refer to the Advocacy Policy.

Speed up your computer's performance now with this simple download. If the Windows kernel seems less revealing at first glance, it is much easier to understand for ordinary Internet users. This makes the operating system it includes much better for general commercial use, whereas I would say Linux code is better for development.
Windows does not have the same strict separation between kernel and user realms as Linux does. The NT kernel has approximately 400 documented system calls plus approximately 1,700 declared Win32 API calls. This will be an important implementation to ensure the true compatibility expected by Windows developers and their approach.
The kernel file itself is ntoskrnl.exe. It is located in C: Windows System32. When you view the properties of the application, you can check the detailed invoice to see how the real version only works in some cases.
