Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS 0.5 Planning

[Dick]

Hi,
I think at least users will lose their patience and stop believing reactos 
will ever become a useful os for daily use. Even for crowdfnding(like done 
before) i think people need to invest in something real. The goal of 
reactos needs to be redefined.
I think the goal should be to become a full-functional windows 
replacement, useful for windows 10 users as well as for windows nt/2003 
users. I thinkk windows will be gone in 5-10 years, so reactos should be 
to 1.0 at least in the next 2 years to make tis project of anny sense. 
otherwise you all are just spending time to recreate the past.
best regards, dick
