"Being runnable only on old computers"
I think this is a bad understanding of the problem....
By such statement, it seems that ReactOS will only work on old computers.
And thats not true.
ReactOS may work in any computer where there is hardware drivers for. And,
as such, any software written for XP/2k3/ReactOS will work in that computer.
And afaik, manufacturers are still releasing drivers compatible with XP :)
(nVidia, for example....)

There is the matter not only of applications but device drivers.
Manufacturer-supplied device drivers for Windows should be usable in
ReactOS as much as possible. Being runnable only on old computers is not
good enough.
One thing that sticks out on this list (ros-dev and ros-user) is the
excessive quoting, whereby the list footer that the server automatically
adds to the end of every message, and when quoting the whole message, the
footer appears multiple times. It is decidedly inelegant when the list
footer appears 5, 6 or 7 times on the same message due to indiscriminately
quoting the entire message.
I also say indiscriminate use of multipart/alternative is inelegant when
one-part plain text shows everything of interest.
