Re: [ros-dev] [ros-kernel] How do device drivers fit into the projectgoal

[Daniel Reimer]

I am no developer, so see my opinion as a User opinion. I think James 
Tabor is right. Being 100% compatible to the Windows Drivers already out 
there is very important. This is one thing ReactOS will be better than 
Linux, because Windows Driver Support is way better than for Linux. If 
NT Driver compatibility would fall, we would have nothing. Every driver 
would need a remake for ReactOS and persuading the people to do these 
would not be fun. Most very interesting Open Source Systems died because 
of two reasons: No Apps and No Drivers, keep this in mind. If there are 
ideas to optimize those parts of ReactOS, I think keeping compatibility 
is priority Nr. 1. All other, incompatible optimations could be added to 
ReactOS only mechanisms.

Sorry, that I disturbed you, but I just needed to say this
