Yes, udev is linux only. Replace udev with whatever is available on
other platforms in that diagram. I just used linux as an example...
Sorry for not making it clear.

Why is dbus needed? Why can't the user space apps talk to the user space
daemon directly? To me it's just another unnecessary layer, each layer
needs some kind of translation and thus resources. To me hal or whatever
may replace it should have a minimalist approach.

"Windows".

But I'm doing a "don Quijote" here...
