Hi,
I suggest you to read "Windows NT/2000: Native API reference"
by Gary Nebbett (ISBN: 1-57870-199-6).
It contains the set of system services provided by the Window NT
executive (the native syscall interface).
Even though it only works with NT(2k/xp) kernels, the book contains
the source code for a Un*x-like fork.
The NT executive has a lot similarities with the M*ch kernel and the
IO subsystem is entierly object oriented. That being said, the main
problem is the Win32 API.
All system objects are files, processes, threads, events or ports.
Even sockets are handled as files (TDI).
Philippe.
