I just downloaded the latest reactos and tried it with qemu 0.7. Some
points:
1. Most of the panels don't fit on VGA screens and so I can't apply
settings. It would be wise to design them as VGA-friendly.
2. I can't change the resolution and it seems you don't support qemu's
network adapter either?
3. Please provide some apps with the emulated OS (adding 10 more MBs is not
a big deal). I can't download anything atm as I don't have a browser or
internet access inside reactos and this limits my experience with it.

thx,
Eugenia

I have noticed this also, it is kinda annoying.

Our ne2000 driver works under qemu if you specify the Irq and Port in
the registry.

I was working towards this, but from another angle.  FTP works once
you have the qemu networking up.

Remember, were at not at 0.3.0 yet. ;0)

That's also what I say.
For a demo system I should put some programs into the qemu image.
However, as discussed, this mixes up ROS with 3rd.party work and support
for that will reach us.  So what to do further?

Definitely a separate ISO image for applications. But we really need
to shape up our apps/drivers database, but the new website must be
done first, coming soon!
