There's an easy benefit for them: it reduces their test matrix.
That's why you generally only support platforms that have value, rather
than supporting everything unless and until you have a concrete reason
to drop it.

[Riccardo Paolo Bestetti]

I’m just gonna snap in for my yearly IT guy NT6 rant: this mindset is going to kill the project by making it useless whenever it reaches a usable state.
Windows XP/Server 2003 use is *already* marginal as of today, and it’s only gonna get “worse” as more and more networks get infected by ransomware and institutions all over the world wake up and update (and as time passes of course). It’s not a matter of “fancy”, it is a matter of what people use on their computers. With that argument you may as well advocate for DOS.

Please don’t be offended, as always this is only intended as a reality check.

rasomware is definitely not a reason.

Windows XP may be patched against it. Its not a matter of design, but
implementation.

Sorry, let me clarify: I don’t think ransomware is a reason to target NT6. I think ransomware is contributing to wake up big institutions still running NT5 to switch to NT6, which means more software will be ported to NT6, which means (along with other reasons) that NT5 will be even less significant than today.

Rest assured, we know that ReactOS won't be of much use if we stay
NT5-only. Work is underway to provide a seamless support of NT6
applications on top of the existing codebase.
Also the majority of developers should be using an NT6 platform
themselves, so they certainly aim for support for NT6 applications.
Finally, applications compiled by modern versions of Visual Studio are
NT6-only by default, so supporting this platform is unavoidable.

Just my two cents, as the previous replies could lead you to believe
we're failing the reality check.

Cheers,

Colin

I think it’s no neccesary to implement NT6, only to avoid the compatibility tests to NT6 and implement only the characteristics that the most of the programs uses.

That’s what’s currently being worked on.

The kernel still closely follows the NT5.2 architecture, but user mode will have NT6+ compatibility shims to allow modern applications to run correctly.

Hi,

is there a list which need to be done to get the basic NT6 architecture
just to get feeling how much work it is? Sadly, I'm afraid that we'll
need a proper NT6 architecture to get modern drivers running, won't we?

Best regards,
Michael Fritscher

hello again guys,

What if we get latest NT5 libreoffice version (5.4.6 as of now, and
5.4.7-rc1 is out) just for testing purposes? i guess it will be dropped
from official website, andi don´t know if it will be still available in any
way......

No need to panick, they themselves link to this as an archive of old
versions: https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/
So even if it's gone from their own site, it should remain there.
