Log:
This commit, in my opinion, marks an important milestone in ReactOS development. One is now able to boot to desktop, launch applications, download through the application manager, play solitaire, minesweeper, launch Task Manager, etc... by using an unmodified Windows 2003 kernel32.dll binary (and, until our NPFS driver is fixed, the unmodified Windows 2003 NPFS driver). Additionally, one is able to achieve the same by booting with an unmodified Windows 2003 ntdll.dll, including a combination of both. The capability to mix-and-match components such as kernel32 and ntdll, at the heart of the system, will allow to better understand apitest failures (just as Wine has long had the capability to use Windows DLLs instead). With these two building blocks, additional Windows 2003 DLLs can be dropped in/tested, etc, and where failures are seen, a likely component can now be blamed. Furthermore, debugging with public symbols for these DLLs is now possible with WinDBG (in fact, this is how many bugs were fixed in this attempt). Many issues already exist when running with this combination FYI, for example, I was not able to launch any installers (tested Firefox and MIRC). This already demonstrates either missing functionality or ReactOS-specific functionality in components which depend on kernel32. I suspect the next step is infrastructure work to get special patchbot/builders to try and report back winetest results, and for additional DLLs to be "ported"/made to work. On a final note, this mixing and matching has benefits on both ends -- it's now likely that ReactOS' ntdll can run on Server 2003, at least far enough to get to Explorer or Task Manager. Running apitests on Server 2003 with and without reactos DLLs should also easily identify if certain DLLs are directly to blame for certain regressions/failures. </end excited rant>
