Hi folks,

a very general question:

why are you developing a completely new kernel instead of using an
existing one like linux or hurd and running reactos just as a 
subsystem, perhaps with some kernel improvements.

For example: linux brings very good memory management and filesystem.
If you want to use Xwindow, you can use a direct graphics backend 
for the UI. Console applications could run directly on stdio as
all unix console applications do.

Doing so lets you run the windows applications within a another
host operating system and integrating both together.

So what are the advantages of another own kernel against a subsystem
in another host operating system ?
