Re: [ros-dev] FullFAT replacement for Fastfat.sys

[Gabriel ilardi]

Hi James,

Welcome to the team!
ReactOS kernel aims to be compatible with W2k3's,  meanwhile Win32 subsystem aims atm
Vista.
You'll come across missing stuff, just search for UNIMPLEMENTED throughout the code.
Encoded started a page with missing functionality here:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Missing_ReactOS_Functionality 
Hope you have fun with ReactOS as much as we do...

Gabriel ilardi.
