Hello all:

I am interested in replacing Windows 2003 server
and hopefully Windows 2008 server (hell, And Windows 7)
with ROS some day.
I have seen these:

http://reactos.org/wiki/Version_Status

http://reactos.org/wiki/Testing_Central


But

1. is there thinking/planning on how to replace, or
use, things like Internet Information Server under ROS?

2. I see some net framework work;
but is there a stated goal as to if and what versions of .NET will be
supported?

3. Has this project drawn any sort of interest from Microsoft?

4. You Are being mindful to stay away from any of the
Microsoft Telemetry stuff, yes?


... this telemetry stuff:

"Recently Reddit user "sammiesdog" posted 
<https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/4ibauu/visual_studio_adding_telemetry_function_calls_to/>

claims that Visual Studio's C++ compiler was automatically adding 
function calls to Microsoft's telemetry services.  The screenshot 
<http://imgur.com/TiVrXyf> accompanying their post showed how a simple 5 
line CPP file produced an assembly language file that included a 
function call titled  “|telemetry_main_invoke_trigger|”.

The ensuing discussion then revolved around how to disable this 
unannounced “feature” while also speculating its purpose. “sammiesdog” 
noted that this appears in release builds, while user “ssylvan” also 
indicated that it appeared in debug builds too.  The telemetry function 
is intended to communicate with ETW. "


Thank you!
