Would it be possible to do it after ReactOS already relaces Windows, it's stable, smaller memory footprint, etc. ? I mean, by then everyone will be so excited about it, everybody would have already heard of it (definitely) and they would already be keen to help or something. At which point the devs pull out a list of things that should be done right: a,b,c, d, etc.
James Tabor: I need to warn you that this will take years to do right. We already learned to live with the feeling of knowing this only works on ROS.
I'm thinking ROS will have fanboys who will come hungry to help someone so that they're noticed.
Mr. Tabor, your thoughts ?

No not sad.... It is a testament of the hard work done by Thomas and
other developers, getting it to work with wine and working out the
issues of point to point API cross tests. This is not an easy task to
go into! The little information we have is not going to help in the
short term of getting user32 into a state of plug and run for XP or
any version of Windows. We just don't have the resources and time to
do the job right. I must add, the tools I had access to just is not
enough. We need to compromise and live with this fact. Over all we can
meet to an API level of compatibility and that is it. Walking away
with some understanding how this interface works at the end of the
day.
