Windos is Semi Mircokernel model. Its very much different
from traditional Monolithic unix kernel implementations.
WinDDK API specifications aren't consistent. 
Binary compatibility to .vxd, .sys and .dll drivers is
impossible. Even source compatibility to WinDDK or WDM
is not worth the effort. First of all it will hugely
pollute the kernel and will make it more complex.
Linux driver model is far superior and easier then WDM.
With a fraction of effort we will be able to achieve 
the availability of device drivers natively
