ReactOS being an NT clone. Have we changed goals or something? I
thought the point wasn't just to run Windows applications.. if that's
all we care about now, then why don't we just say fuck-all to the NT
Architecture and you guys can go and do stuff your own way...get rid
of smss, get rid of csrss, put win32k in usermode, don't use any
internal NT structures anymore, and hell, don't even use syscalls
anymore, nobody depends on those.
I want to see the end product as per the NT architecture. I thought this
was always the goal.
You guys better decide, you seem kind of confused...
It seems that way to me too now.
are you going to create a working model of NT based
on architectural information (and that includes, OSR, PDBs, MSDN,
DDKs,
NTDEV/NTIFS
Mailing Lists, Windows Internals, Probert, etc) or are
you going to
create some half-assed OS
that runs every app the users want?
Hopefully the first. I would like to open Windows Internals and be able
to work with ReactOS.
If attracting developers is an end goal, It makes sense that they are
working with internals they are used to.
Granted the internal API's of a particular modual may be different, but
the interfaces should be the same.
