1- GUI is not the last part of the OS being improved. Actually, there are few developers working on it right now.
2- current explorer.exe will be replaced by explorer-new.exe (you can find it in ReactOS CD's too)
3- please dont use $ for talking about MS ... im not in the same side as MS, but most devs dont like to use that term :) its just an advice

Hello Olaf Siejka,

I am not 100% sure that it was due to Video Memory, but it is failed on first attempt (after importing) and when I increased it to 16Mb ReactOS booted without any issue.

Other then that I tried Audio,Internet and installed some softwares without any issue, performance on VirtualBox is excellent.

I know GUI will be the last part of ReactOS to improve, but what I feel is mouse pointer's movement and menus popup needs some smoothness, painting issues with explorer by focusing on some other window, explorer sometimes didn't repaint its window correctly, used for couple of hours and performance was same as opposed to M$ windows (that's the best part).

Hiya

I just imported and ran Vbox image, but failed to replicate your problem. Moreover, i did set my usual ReactOS installation to 4MB of Video memory (same value as defined in the Vbox image) but again, had no problems. I was even able to run it in full-screen. Please make a bug report in our bugzilla, providing the replication method.

Hi All,

Just want to say thanks for this wonderful project. Works like a charm in
VritualBox image.
It is unbelievable that total size of this great OS is just 37MB.

In Virtual Box, default config for Video memory is too low which cause
error on loading the VirtualBox image, after increasing it to 16mb all
works fine. May be useful for someone else on the list.

Waiting for the stable version to use on my laptop.


Babar Shafiq Nazmi.
