Issue 1 Telstra Bigbond has announced that they are following Microsofts plan to drop support for Windows98 fron 17th August this year. It is clear that Microsoft is no longer supporting backward compatability, only forward. These are two entirely different Technologies, both at the OS and at the File level. If ReactOS policy is to be plug compatibe with Windows, how does ReactOS plan to deal with it?

All I have to do is comply strictly with the ReactOS Code of Conduct. I think ROS-User-Issues or RUI is pretty clear. If you need to talk code then got to: ROS-Programmer-Issues or RPI. We already have Mingw-Msys for those don't just read or talk code, but seriously do it. Kicking off RUI.

I'm a little confused. And am now dumping Telstra, Bigpond.net.au Webmail, because they are too incompetant to remain in business. Although I have unbolted IE and everything else bar the kitchen-sink, I am still being pentrated by reminants of IE. They should be made face the Courts, I can't do it alone. Meanwhile I'm getting familiar with Opera Web Mail. Sigh? Meanwhile back to the issues... Hello World, Kevin. This conversation below is just what makes ReactOS so strong, but there is a danger that it can end in mere talk. I would like to dwell on what you have just said, but on a separate thread: like User-Issues. I strongly urge "Those Who Are In Control" to create a more convenient structure. Like say, this: The Begin/End block is to stress the point. ros-general BEGIN block ros-User-Issues ros-Programmer-Issues END block This issue is very important to me, but I'm embarrased that I might be blocking the Entry-Exit. Cheers and rosuccess Justin ---- wrote: > I don't see these products which are available for managing MS Windows into a more streamlined OS as being particularly against ReactOS. To me they are just a way of trying to get the bloated and sloppy Windows to work a bit better until the alternative is mature enough to use all day, every day. When ReactOS achieves this I will dump MS Windows, but till then I try to make the best of it. In a way, the fact that these system management utilities exist can help the ReactOS project 'get it right' where Microsoft failed. > DOS dead ? Maybe MS-DOS, yes, and possibly IBM's PC-DOS in the near future - but there are several other DOS variants, DR-DOS and Freedoms for example, which have a useful place in the grand scheme of things. Like the way Partition Magic uses DR-DOS to provide an op system to boot from floppy. Very useful on either new, virgin machines or when you've got hard drive problems. > Can't trust Microsoft ?

Well, there it is Kevin, suddenly a Window of opportunity is opening. It looks good, but I must warn you to read the fine print: This product seems to go against the intersts ReactOS. 1. So far it supports Windows 2000, XP x86/x64 and 2003 x86/x64 all languages. Windows Vista will be supported as well. I may be wrong here, but why not just say DOS or Fat32? 2. It needs at least .NET Framework 1.1 in order to run it... Now I have no doubt that DOS is on the way out. She is desparate to dump her old following and Australia won't take them anymore. This dump site is closed. But I will study it more closely and apologise if I am wrong. My acute sense of distrust (my worst feature) tells me Ms is turning bad luck into another good fortune again. Why Justin not give then a chance.? I will, I will, but... Please ReactOS, watch your back (office). Hmmm???

Thanks K McI. > .........., he's just reminiscing about old, good, alternative OSes... Gosh is it that far back already, it seems like yesterday. My attention is being distracted, by this crazy Webmail behavour. I have to restart Windows after every two email, and it's driving me mad. I guess it is payback time for me unbolting IE. Sorry I'm off topic, but we have to expect that Ms has too much to lose if ReactOS succeeds. I just know that this intrusion into my computer is ilegal, but proving is going to be difficult. When I do I'll let you all know about it. Cheers and rosuccess Justin ---- K McI <uniq(a)wwsvr.bounceme.net> wrote: > Ge van Düsseldorf wrote: > > Huh? SkyOS is not open source.
