kernel target. With these considerations, the project has decided to set both the user and kernel targets to Windows 2003. Dependency on Wine for many user mode libraries actually complicates this, as Wine has been adding Vista and later APIs without proper segregation and the developers will need to figure out how to deal with this in the long run.
Limiting things to 2003 might work, with the exception of DirectX, hardware drivers and silly stuff like UEFI and GPT [ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463525.aspx ].
In other words you'll get in trouble as people want to test ReactOS against their own (modern) hardware system (due to drivers focusing on Vista/7/8), and see if ReactOS can run their games.
Nonetheless, good thing you lot are able to make up your mind and sticking to a argumented majority decision.
thanks for the minutes.
