Suddenly, I want to write a small operating system. But after a few days of information collection, I found that the development of OS kernel under Windows is a bit difficult. The first thing is the most difficult is to take a compilation platform. Almost all tutorials describe Tools such as GCC, LD, Make under Linux. Although the final OS writing did not walk on the right track, no heart to insert the will will, but let me find a lot of open source software (OSS) that can be used under Windows.
