The funny thing is, the boot processes on Windows and Linux are remarkably similar, and have always been.

>On Windows, firmware loads bootloader, bootloader loads ntoskrnl (NT kernel), ntoskrnl starts first user process smss.exe, smss starts security subsystem lsass.exe, lsass starts winlogon.exe, winlogon logs user on and starts the shell, explorer.exe

Any idea where I can find more about this? Made a blog post about this my start-up is different. (Talking about Windows)
