reports about Win7+ apps

[Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo]

hello all,

im planning to use ReactOS at a foundation here in Madrid, which is
dedicated to people with intellectual disabilities

he point is, they are using mostly Windows 10, so they are using Win10 apps

are bug reports about Win10 apps acceptable?

[David Quintana (gigaherz)]

Our compatibility layer is very WIP, so reports about those apps would be a
lot of noise with low value

When will reactos be usable for daily use? I think reactos shoulld support 
also windows 7/10 programs, because when it only supports older 
windows-versions you all are in fact building history, something that will 
never be usable for new computers with new software so it would never be 
able to replace windows. I realy hoep the day this project is suitable for 
daily use comes ever, about 20 yers of work without a full functional 
versoin makes me doubt reactos will ever become a fully workign 
replacement for windows. Who knows, maybe everybody had forgoten windows 
in 10 years and everybody uses chrome os. so i hope there is a plan, 
somethign users can expect. a first beta release for example.
best regards, Dick

That is indeed in our plans. That's why the compatibility system was
implemented. It's just a matter of it being inconplete and needing a lot of
man-hours that someone has to volunteer.

@Dick,

Windows XP/2003 is a great target, those were very stable systems, and
ReactOS can perfectly replace them. Software companies dont support them
because lack of maintenance. But ReactOS has that :)

;-) yes but it would make the group of users much smaller. an 
windows-replacement that can run all windows programs, including those of 
windows 10 can be used as a stable replacement for everyone, when the 
target would be xp/2003 most people and most new hardware would not 
benefit from it. but luckily david pointed out also support for newer 
windows versions is planned.
