This is the point where Maya mistakes most of all: ReactOS is an opensource and a FREE project. Managing and working in an opensource project is different.
We can't compare ReactOS engineering technologies with Alcatel engineering technologies. Or with Microsoft technologies. But I try to keep the most valuable what we have in ReactOS, and what is lost in some other project which tries to provide Windows compatibility - freedom. And my intention is to keep this even after commercial ReactOS vendors appear.
I won't repeat all valid points Ged, Alex and Steven said, and some of Marc's email is right too.
One can demand something from another team member, but the difference is that the result very well may be as Alex outlined in his fishing analogy.
As for another question, by Marc or by Alexandru, there is no real development roadmap of ReactOS, the one on the website should actually be removed, since it's mostly incorrect.

Wake the fuck up, this isn't Codeweavers (not saying this in a bad way) and you know very well that Wine wouldn't be where it is today without CW and Google.
CW and Google (read: $$$$$$) is what made Wine what it is today.
Read my reply to Marc -- I'm surprised you +1'ed this.
