He wrote a series of articles about the market, the intellectual property rights and the techniques to explain why people needed the project and how to implement the Longene. The project leader, Decao Mao (毛德操), proposed the idea and route of the Longene. In September 2005, the Longene project gained sponsorship from Insigma Technology (浙大网新), a China-based IT consulting corporation. Those libraries are offered by others projects, such as Wine, ReactOS, GNU, and NDISwrapper. The Longene project does not develop the Windows and the Linux userland libraries. Linux applications call the syscall table via "int 0x80". Windows applications call the syscall table via software interrupt "int 0x2e". Longene has two sets of system calls and their corresponding tables: a Windows syscall set and a Linux syscall set. Functions are implemented using Linux loadable kernel modules, so they can be loaded and unloaded easily. In order to prevent bloating, if a function is available in both the ReactOS and Linux kernel, the Linux implementation is used. The new kernel will allow both Linux and Windows applications and device drivers to work without virtualization or emulation.
Longene aims to add all Windows kernel mechanisms, including system calls, Windows Registry, Windows Driver Model, Deferred Procedure Call, and others, into the Linux kernel to form a new kernel.
