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.

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.

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, ...

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.

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.
