Re: [ros-general] $$$ Bountys on ReactOS development - 0.2 Relase

                Hi,
actually, in my opinion, the model Jason says is better than just '5 usd for
a CD with ReactOS'.
My initial thought when joining ReactOS team was not just contributing to
the project, but (in the long-time goal) is creating some products based on
ReactOS, which will be commercial in some way (I don't know details yet, how
it's possible, etc, but surely I'm not going to and won't ever violate GPL
license ;-)).

End-users will like much more a ROS-based solution which will do something
useful for them, than rather just buy a CD with an operating system
preinstalled. -- Who needs this? The user who likes to experiment, to try
something new, to test our OS at last. But this user usually have enough
expertise to just d/l ISO and burn by himself.


Anyway, for now, for me, the only way to make the day when it become
possible to have production-stage ReactOS is contributing to it, and with
varying success I'm trying to do this :-)



With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.
