The current ntoskrnl.c is enough to run a few apps. It's not intended to run arbitrary NT drivers. Now, RegMon uses a VxD, and I don't think we're ever planning on really supporting those. Wine does ship with nine 'fake' VxD's; these were added because they were needed by popular apps. So if you have a particular VxD that's important enough, we can reimplement it as part of Wine. I just noticed Microsoft's UMDF (User Mode Driver Framework). I bet we could support UMDF drivers pretty well if we wanted to. Have you ever played with that? - Dan
