Anyone know of a Linux/D-Bus sort of mechanism for Windows?
Thanks

DBus on Windows is used by KDE, Gnome and commercial applications.
You can run dbus on any modern Unix, Windows, or macOS platform; but it's only the standard system management IPC on Linux.
In computing, D-Bus (short for "Desktop Bus") is a message-oriented middleware mechanism that allows communication between multiple processes running concurrently on the same machine.
Package: dbus-x11 description: D-BUS is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. D-BUS supplies both a system daemon (for events such as 'new hardware device added' or 'printer queue changed') and a per-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs among user applications).

The following IPC mechanisms are supported by Windows:
- Clipboard
- COM
- Data Copy
- DDE
- File Mapping
- Mailslots
- Pipes
- RPC
- Windows Sockets
The closest to DBus is COM.

The reference D-Bus implementation natively supports Windows. Previously, the WinDBus project could be used. There is no need for equivalents if you want to use D-Bus.
