Somewhere back in time, there is a version of ROS that loaded the GUI on-demand. Dark times. ;0)

In fact this functionality is still there and should work.
But the only thing it does, is to switch to gui mode. win32k and the rest are already loaded.
I think that I actually am starting to find this. I was browsing around the iso's that I have and on the ReactOS.iso I could see that it all goes through the ReactOS installation process. On that iso, the base core files seem to be loaded after which control is passed to the installer "ReactOS.exe" which utilizes a GUI and does not seem to be at the native level although I could be wrong.
I'm still not sure which last core file passes control over to the reactos.exe file, but it seems like this installation process might be a good starting point for the experiment that I am working towards.
