Posted this before!
ReactOS is an unique project platform and to just have one sole
project is not what this project is about. What have we learn from
Arwinss to date, the source of our win32k issues is wine itself. (ref
r44800) It's an add on to X11, so wine thinks per process and not the
whole of it. Meaning, it draws based on one application and does not
consider the full X11 environment. So it's hacked to work. Arwinss
attempts to move beyond this and with wine using our kernel in itself
is amazing! This is why we have both now.

FYI: Win32k was ported from wine.
The same thing with the kernel, we can use Linux
instead! Create a
distribution with it and call it Lindows! Oh wait! That ship has set
sail and moved on~!
Although Jim likes the hyperbole, he is right. Arwinss is a stop gap
solution that should eventually be deprecated except for the X11
module and used as a basis for verifying the 'correct' win32
subsystem.
