Hi folks,
For me
the differences are important since I'd like to use windows applications
on other platforms like GNU/Linux or BSD.
Perhaps it was a misunderstanding. I meant a "good operating system" which
can be used for many tasks, not just running windows applications.
So this would end up in a windows subsystem.
Well, let me ask the question in a diffrent way:
What are the existing kernels/operating systems are missing that you
require a completely new kernel. Writing a good operating system from scratch
is a very huge job - i.e. linux has taken many years to come to the point
where it is.

ah, no rational
reason, just for fun.
no, I'm just saying it to confuse you *lol*

for me it's finally and actually learning Windows.
Just giving up and using
another system? _how convenient_. And it's not like just for wanting to
develop an open source operating system you *must* contribute to Linux -
what makes people think that?
Well, I just thought about GNU/Linux since its one
of the most used
opensource operating systems.
I personally migrated to GNU/Linux some years ago, because its architecture
is much better for my tasks than windows - for me windows is too desktop-centric
But I also like to run many windows applications on my system, as long as
they're not available for GNU/Linux.
I hate Linux, why should I care?
Why exactly do
you hate it ?

Where are the
(conceptional) differences ?
you really *don't want* to get in a discussion with *me* about differences
between Windows and Linux. I'm pretty much doomed to be always right about
the topic, having spent countless hours of my life studying it. Let's put
it this way: they are roughly *equivalent*, but in no way *interchangeable* And why
implement _Windows_ and not a good system which allows running old
windows applications ?
ReactOS *is* meant as "a good system which allows running old windows
applications" So what are the
advantages of another own kernel against a subsystem in
another host operating system ?
it makes us 63.2% cooler
