In comparison, Unix provides all the tools needed to take it apart and put it back together again. When you do need to interact with some syscall interface, there's almost always a complete CLI around it. It really makes it much easier to get into the nooks and crannies, inconsistencies aside.
For example, CreateProcess() gives you back a HANDLE value representing the process, and you can close it with CloseHandle(). Everything is a HANDLE: Files, pipes, threads, etc. A notable exception is sockets, which for historical reasons use an API modeled on BSD sockets.
The object stuff you're talking about is presumably COM, which is different. COM is great, but has nothing to do with the kernel.
