No, it's not Windows-based, it's text based, but it allows disassembly in several format, along with loading of symbol information for kernel modules (VXD's and VPE's) and all sorts of other nice, nice features. Like the ability to install debug hooks in every one of your drivers so that if you conditionally compile them with debug (be even better if we supported segment ID's and kernel paging...), you extend the debug commands with driver specific table dumping, etc..
