   I wish to run PDOS as an unprivileged kernel. You can   
   see proof of concept here:   
      
   https://sourceforge.net/p/pdos/gitcode/ci/master/tree/bios/bios.c   
      
   Any application that does any interrupt won't work.   
      
   Win32 executables should work, although I haven't   
   definitively proven that DLLs can be handled.
