Hello everybody,
Congratulations with the new release! Every time it's got a little
better :-)
But i'm wondering: ReactOs is an alternative to XP. But, can it be an
alternative to Vista?
The actual kernel and subsystem architecture is only upgraded, not
different, and we already have some Vista APIs. As for
Avalon/XAML/Indigo and all those new .NET-based technologies, remember
that they have been back-ported to Windows XP. So once our compatiblity
layer is high enough, and we can use Mono for .NET support, you shoudl
be able to install those redistributables on ReactOS. Of course,
eventually, we will want to create fully open-source versions of them,
but until then, I don't think that we'll have issues running XAML
applications.
It will however take a long while until we'll have the whole new
graphics framework, but hopefully that will only really start to be used
in 3-4 years from now.
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
The architecture would be different, or not? I'm
not a programmer, so
I don't know exactly the problems and solutions.
