Actually I think it's not going far enough.
I think ReactOS's default OS version should match the latest, or some
future MS version. We always have app compatibility that can be enabled
where needed.
Just speaking as mostly an outsider here, I think that it'd be just
fine to report Win2k. If WinXP stuff isn't supported, you shouldn't
report Windows XP.
You could from there, enable options that allow a user to change the
reported Windows Version globally and for each application.
Put the option in the System control panel or have it activated by a
registry setting or something. You could then default it to XP with
provided insturctions on how to change it if necessary.
Besides, most businesses and corporations are still on either NT 4
or Windows 2000. I only know of two or three major ones at the
moment that use XP at all, and of course even then, it's only on
workstations. Windows XP reporting can happen when things like
StyleXP work on it. (Along with Windows XP reporting, the nice
thing is that you can tell it what version of the family to report
itself as, along with what Service Pack and so forth, it should be
flexible and fitting to the styles of release that happened with
Microsoft.)
Just a couple of ideas.
