1. Under Windows XP, application programs are not allowed to directly access the hardware or the device drivers, so when a user issues a command (through the user interface) that requires operating system support, the program communicates with the kernel through an application programming interface or API. 2. Under Windows XP, rather than incorporating the API’s routines and protocols into each application program, key functions and data are stored on the dynamic link library (DLL). 3. Under Windows XP, the integral subsystem is a kernel user mode component. 4. A service is a program or process that performs a specific system function to support other programs. 5. Under Windows XP, the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) acts as a file system.
