True point. I actually thought I am not
the only to practise test-
based dev. But looking at the (lack of) comments, it seems I am.
Taking that into account, it is not up to me to decide.
I think you are making the wrong conclusions. My point on this
issue is pretty much like Geds, nothing to add.
And speaking of test based development: Of course I am making
tests, but Windows XP and Windows 7 are just fine for that, unless
you test some very specific kernel stuff.
That's because vast majority of people involved in ReactOS project
*at least* dualboots with a Windows installation. And for any
Windows driver developer this is obviously a must, since ReactOS is
quite far from being the leading development environment :)
It would be handy to have a copy of Windows 2003 for leasing, if
that's possible. However, installing it at a remotely-accessible
location is nearly useless (unless you really want to RDP into a yet
another Windows, which has VMWare inside of it, plus a WinDbg, and
you want to develop/test drivers this way).
