   If the OS provided the OS API via function calls instead of interrupts,   
   then he could possibly call them directly, depending on OS privileges,   
   and if desired, he could definitely emulate them.  Interrupts act as a   
   barrier to those functions as privilege is required to set up an   
   interrupt table, or or OS control is required.   
      
   So, with a Win32 executable, he suspects he call provide the OS   
   functions, if they're unavailable for his host environment, since a   
   Win32 executable apparently calls functions directly instead of using   
   software interrupts.
