Re: [ros-dev] New Webserver System

[Rick Langschultz]

Let us consider the way Microsoft does things for just a minute.
When Windows XP came out it was bundled with Paint, NotePad, Write,  
Builtin CD Burning, DVD-Burning???, Windows Media Player, and MSN  
Messenger, as well as MSN if memory serves me correctly. Then they  
had the addons like IIS, MSMQ, etc. As it turns out the bundled stuff  
could be uninstalled. I think users of an operating system are  
looking for convenience in an operating system. Even my new ibook g4  
came with ichat installed, textedit, worldbook encyclopedia, as well  
as many other programs that I find I use almost daily. Consider the  
fact that prebundling software in the production release would give  
ReactOS an advantage in the computing industry. And if a user doesn't  
want those program they could either not use them or can uninstall  
them. Think of the shear scope of the long term goal of reactOS. And  
with prebundled software applications and installable add ons would  
make reactos a more powerful, and hopefully more prominant computing  
environment which may be on your local best buy shelf...
  But in order for that to happen people have to start looking at the  
statistics and trends in computing today, whilst focusing on the  
minor version releases like the pre-production releases.
All I am saying is open your mind and show yourself what computing  
can be taken to...
