OpenKernel (short name` OK), is an internal attempt to rewrite/rejuvenate Windows NT kernel to turn it more capable and modern, by integrating similar solutions implemented in MinWin and adding more features which doesn't exist in original NT project.

Originally OpenKernel's need have been raised in order to replace the Windows Server 2003's kernel with structurally same but different in approach kernel, which will fix most of compatibility issues for both old and new machines. This project doesn't have similar aims as ReactOS does, however, OpenKernel tends to be free for use and open-source. This approach will make OK eventually replace NT.
