What you guys need is some way to convince the ARM Ninjas that rewriting the memory manager won't make the ARM port easier -- but that rewriting win32k/gdi32/user32 will! Best regards, Alex Ionescu

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. arwinss has no more in common with NT3 or Vista/7 than with NT4/XP/2003 architecture. Also Vista/Win7 architecture is following XP/2003 architecture much more than NT3.
In the strictest sense of the definition, both arwinss and the current default implementation styles are "correct." Both implementations work and allow Windows NT drivers to work with it, so
that's
not the problem. It also adds in RDP-esque support through X, which is pretty cool too. I guess some of these people don't like Wine code. The problem with that
is
that without Wine code, ReactOS would probably take ten times as long to actually get to a usable state.
That's just bs. The win32 subsystem has a bunch of bugs yes, but don't expect them to go away by using more wine code.
Using Wine code for win32k seems to cross some sort of line for them. I heard some of them saying the Wine code
for
win32k is "ugly."
When you talk about "them" and "these people" you talk about us, don't you? It's win32k devs you talk about, right? If you can do the coding for us, ...
What does ugliness have to do with it? Being able to share more with Wine saves a lot of hard work from ReactOS devs. They can
focus
more on bringing the NT kernel up to scratch, rather than spending more
time
with the Win32k code.
And this is exactly what is *not* happening. Aleksey currentlty spends his time with this win32k rewrite instead of something useful, like fixing the kernel or fixing the real win32k or fixing fat or usb or porting reactos to mips.
They could even work on adding in other subsystems, if they wanted to.
Yes everyone is free to code what he likes, it just won't lead us anywhere.
Sorry for sounding rude, but I just hate when people with no understanding about the topic are spreading misinformation.
Thanks, Timo
