Sure Vizzini, I'd love to make a bunch of screenshots-
any programs of choice you would like to see?  I am
going to do a crusing of SourceForge, looking for
freely obtainable win32 applications for testing now,
and will provide screenshots of the more successful
ones.  What kinds of applications would the WineConf
people feel 'awed' over?
I might expand my testing base to include windows
shareware also-  As far as I know, I dont have any
commercial applications that currently can run on
ReactOS, so this is the best I can do.
Would love some feedback on what you would find
useful...

Hard to say; in general, we're going to only be able to run a subset of
what Wine itself can run.  In general, anything that looks nifty to you
would probably look nifty to anyone else.
As to the format, I can handle anything, I think - it's just going into
a powerpoint, after all, and I'm sure I can gimp it if I need to.
Thanks for the offer - I look forward to getting some shots.

Has anybody looked into running OpenWatcom (http://www.openwatcom.org/) on
ReactOS? It includes a command-line compiler as well as an IDE.
It might be interesting to make sure OpenWatcom-compiled programs can run
on ReactOS (they use a different C runtime, IIRC) and if that works try
running the compiler proper under ReactOS and if that works, the IDE.
L8r,

        Hi,
sorry for late reply.
I have tried to run OpenWatcom under ROS a while ago, but exe wouldn't even
load, because of some differences in structure (I didn't dig into this area
yet, and may mistake).
Though it worth a try now, with the current ROS build.
With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.
