Folks,
I don't know where to ask this question, So decided to ask it on Dev mailing list. I am new to ReactOS and installed it on VMWare workstation and really loved it. It's behavior look and feel is like Windows and I really appreciate it (although there is long way to for it)
Few of my questions are below:--
1) Is there any development kit for developing applications for ReactOS? 2) If not, Will Applications developed using Windows SDK (not .net framework and all, just plain SDK) will work on ReactOS? 3) If Apps developed on Windows works on ReactOS, Are libraries developed for Windows (which just depend on kernel32, user32 and other system dlls) will work on ReactOS?
I am planning to use ReactOS for one of my custom device (using x86 based processor) and want to develop some applications on top of it.
Regards Deepak

First there's the ReactOS Build Environment (RosBE) which can be downloaded from our website. It's used to compile the whole OS. But for appications any Windows development kit will do. You can use mingw or msvc or borland or whatever. .net is not supported yet.
- If not, Will Applications developed using Windows SDK (not .net
framework and all, just plain SDK) will work on ReactOS?
Yes. You might experience bugs, but you're welcome to report them in our bugzilla. :D
- If Apps developed on Windows works on ReactOS, Are libraries developed
for Windows (which just depend on kernel32, user32 and other system dlls) will work on ReactOS?
Yes.
