it's not _that_ easy to provide a stub implementation of ntoskrnl (I mean it's
not just another dll, its the windows kernel ;) )
but thx to all the guys working on the copy-protection stuff there probably will
be a ntoskrnl emulation in near future. hal.dll is exclusivly used by kernel
drivers, so it only makes sense to work on it if there is a ntoskrnl.But even if
all that stuff is in place, loading a device driver which does *whatever* on the
pci bus? I dunno if that could be emulated that easily in userspace under linux.

Maybe there should be some check in the CreateService/StartService code to
explicitly prevent any sort of kernel driver to be installed/loaded as it just
won't work anyways.

same probably goes for device drivers under Win9X/ME aka *.vxd files.
