Arwinss resembles the NT3/Vista/7 architecture for

implementation that some people are saying is "right" is more in line with
the NT4-WinXP. 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.
Nothing close at all~ We have a list of books for you to read,
media/doc/books.txt, but that list looks very short, someone removed
some book about win32k in there.....
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. 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." 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. They could even work on adding in other subsystems, if
they wanted to.
Do some research with our project, go back and read our emails and
correlate them with our commit logs to get a more precise picture on
what happen and why and where. Understanding our history will help you
understand where we are today.
Thanks,
