== Description ==
TinyKRNL utilizes Windows Native Mode, which is mostly used with the ''chkdsk'' tool in vanilla Windows, alongside custom shell named the Native Command Line Interface (NCLI) to actually run things. Because the Win32 subsystem has been removed, no native Windows programs will run, even if they are command line. In addition, there is also no NTVDM virtual machine, which means DOS programs will similarly not work. Programs would have to be written from scratch to actually be used with this OS.
TinyKRNL is based on what is known as "native mode", the same one where the ''chkdsk'' tool is launched when it needs to check and fix errors in the system partition.
 
== Changes from Windows XP ==
* Removal of pretty much everything.
* The banner and palette when booted is a darkish blue.
* As the OS is in native mode, no Windows programs run, as they are part of the Win32 subsystem and do not work in this OS, same goes for DOS programs because they need to be virtualized with NTVDM, and that also requires the Win32 subsystem so it will not work either.
