Best Answer

The /proc file system is used internally by the Unix and Linux operating systems.

Unix and Windows do things differently; Windows uses the registry, which in a sense is what the /proc file system does, but in a different way.

Operating systems are all different; they are free to implement ideas and details in any way they want to.

If you are asking about the Pro*C compiler, that's a different matter.

tar extension can more or less be compared to zip: a tarball (this is the name of a "tar extension'ed file") is used to group file (and eventually folders of files). Although tarballs are mostly used in Unix flavors, programs such as WinRar for Windows can extract files from them. In short, such drivers may work for both Windows and/or Unix flavors.
