I would like to see win64 be implimented too and windows XP and Vista API's to work too... maybe a pipe dream, but I think we might have to implement Vista DRM to make some people happy... but My suggestion is that only the "root" or "Head Admin would have the ability to turn it off or on or control how it works.

Is there going to be a new release candidate of ReactOS version 0.3.3? I tested it very shortly and was very impressed with how it looked in comparison to version 0.3.0. Is there a list of known bugs as feedback from 0.3.3rc1 testers? Searching through Bugzilla might be a bit too much :). Anyway, the issues I experience in VMware 6.00 on WinXP Pro x64 host so far are:
- diskette drive not visible (and/or working). Ever since 0.2.8 or so?
- shutdown does not close the virtual machine (might be improper
shutdown). Screen goes all black and need to enter VMware menu to shutdown the ReactOS virtual machine.
Is the AUTORUN.INF by now the only file on the root of the CD? icons and readme files can go in subdirectories I guess, which makes adding ReactOS to multi-installation CDs a lot easier (a CD/DVD containing setup or LiveCD of various operating systems, mostly using the Isolinux bootloader for a frontend menu and chainloading bootsectors).
I've not extensively tested the RC1 on for example if it still can complete installation and bootup with 32MB or less RAM installed (VMware allows anywhere from 4MB to 8GB in increments of 4MB, Bochs/Qemu allow 1MB increases).
A resolved item I noticed in this new release was the ability to enter digits for the computername, wasnt possible previously in 0.3.0 or 0.3.1.
ReactOS is getting interesting by now..a Win32 operating system with a size of about 50MB and capable of playing huge games sooner or later. Looks like a blessing to my limited size (16GB) DRAM based solid state disk.
