Heh! I opened either a treasure trove or a pandoras box. It doesn't matter which at this stage. All it means is, it's ok to express that opinion which you thought too silly to mention before. This is the concept of Freedom which the concept of Limit enhances. For without Limit there can be no progress at all. Within relative Limits of course. [Newtons laws of motion] Sorry I just can't help myself. --- May I add one more suggestion? Should anyone have a non trivial point tp make then it should look like this: Subject: Issue 1.1 [Re: [ros-general] ROS-User-Issues]. Later on I will demonstrate another nifty trick.
Cheers and rosuccess Justin

However... Look at VMS, and WNT. See how the shorthand of Windows NT is a play on one-upping VMS? :p

I sometimes wonder if even Microsoft know what NT means. Look at the Windows 2000 splash screen - 'based on NT technology'. Translate the 'NT' into 'New Technology' and we get 'based on new technology technology'. Not very confidence inspiring, Microsoft. Kevin.

Sorry guys. In my preoccupation with separating USER from PROGRAMMER I stepped into a rather smelly issue of my own making. However your response is making me aware of a number of issues which may have lain dormant, simply because nobody "in the know" would have had (myself included) the courage to ask such a seemingl silly question.. How many Users would know what NT even means: Afterall Users don't program or do they? Cheers and rosuccess Justin ---- "Robert Köpferl" rob@koepferl.de wrote:
Seems to me like you missed the point (or I did)
It's about updates, patches for win98 and their current apps still working on win98

Issue 1
Telstra Bigbond has announced that they are following
Microsofts plan to drop support for Windows98 fron 17th August this year.
It is clear that Microsoft is no longer supporting backward
compatability, only forward.
These are two entirely different Technologies, both at the OS
and at the File level.
If ReactOS policy is to be plug compatibe with Windows, how
does ReactOS plan to deal with it?

Well not anymore. This may not be a Wiki, but I can make it look like one. All I have to do is comply strictly with the ReactOS Code of Conduct. I think ROS-User-Issues or RUI is pretty clear. If you need to talk code then got to: ROS-Programmer-Issues or RPI. We already have Mingw-Msys for those don't just read or talk code, but seriously do it. Kicking off RUI. I recommend taking a look at http://www.pcpitstop.com He has some interesting things to say about Microsoft. Not that I agree entirely with him.
Any objections or recomendations are welcome
Cheers and rosuccess
Justin
