+# 0: General Information
+
+===================================
+
+- ABI and Format: PEF/PE32+.
+- Kernel architecture: Portable hybrid kernel.
+- Language: C++/(Assembly (AMD64, X64000, X86S, ARM64, POWER, RISCV))
+
+===================================
+
+# 1: The NewKernel
+
+===================================
+
+- Drive/Device Abstraction.
+- SMP, Preemptive Multi Threading.
+- Separation of Files/Devices.
+- Networking.
+- Hardware Abstraction Layer.
+- Native Filesystem support (NewFS, FAT32 and ffs2).
+- Program Loaders.
+- Thread Local Storage.
+- Semaphore, Locks, Timers.
+- Canary mechanisms.
+- Dynamic Sys.
+- Cross Platform.
+- Permission Selectors.
+
+===================================
+
+# 2: The Filesystem
+
+===================================
+
+- Catalog object with associated forks.
+- Large storage support.
+- Long file names.
+- UNIX path style.
+
+==================================
+
+# 3: Common naming conventions:
+
+==================================
+
+- Kernel -> ke_init_x
+- RunTime -> rt_copy_mem
+- Hal -> hal_foo_bar
+
+===================================
+
+# 4: The newosldr
+
+===================================
+
+- Capable of booting from a network drive.
+- Loads a PE file which is the kernel.
+- Sanity checks, based on the number of sections.
+- Handover compliant.
+- Does check for a valid partition (useful in the case of recovering)

+- We need preemptive multi-threading. [ X ]
+- We then need sync primitives. [ X ]
+- We also need a system library for the OS. [ X ]
+- We need a bootloader for AMD64 [ X ]
+  - Implement Boot Services [ X ]
+  - Design Handover [ X ]
+  - Load kernel into memory [ X ]
+  - Fix bug in kernel loader, which causes a 06 #UD. [ X ]
