I personally don't think the audit will take years, I would say it will be something around three months, until we have a ReactOS that installs and boots up into explorer. And anybody who wants to develop something for ReactOS can create system utilities that don't depend that hardly on ReactOS and would run on Windows (like my idea for a new setup system and a package manager).
And I think ReactOS will be more solid after the audit and development will be easier as everything is reorganized and more intuitive for new developers.
And considering Microsofts development speed, it won't be that hard to avoid such lags... ;-)

Hi all, Steven Edwards wrote at http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/ru/news_page_14.html: "One final note, this audit of the code is going to take a long time. It could take years, but it will happen, this project will come out better than it was before". Whether means it, what all development will be suspended for the period of audit? I understand necessity of audit, but I am afraid, that in a year the urgency of the project will catastrophically fall, and it will hopelessly lag behind from Microsoft :(.
I want, that ReactOS have survived...
