what about using this?

internally maybe its necesary to move kernel goal to Windows 7 or even 8.1, but this way it would be much harder to get ReactOS stable at last.....

SxS doesn't require links, it makes use of them to reduce the actual disk usage. The conversation was about how many people "hate" the WinSxS folder because when you look at the properties in explorer it shows a very large number of GB, but fail to realize this number is not accurate due to the large number of DLLs that are shared with System32. If we can't make use of hardlinks, we can just copy the actual files. The HDD space used will grow, but it's not like if our installation is 15gb... ;P

I'm not sure you realize what you're praising.

Links & junctions are not supported on FAT, they require NTFS.

Things like file name detection, string table detection, marked processes via user defined requests or a hash database, etc. Perhaps even scanning the imports (although this is harder to manage due to people using GetProcAddress to detect OS version)

Compatibility information is stored in a registry key HKCU\Software\Microsodt\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\... The trick is to make this easy / transparent for the user. A right-click -> properties -> compatibility approach should for now probably be the easiest thing,
