Hi,

I have read a bit of your homepage and a bit of the mailinglists.
Some people complained about the quite "ugly" GUI. Here my suggestion: Do not 
put your energy in improving the GUI for ReactOS. It would be nice when 
ReactOS will run on slow and older machines, too. But a ReactOS-Distro could 
include KDE (or GNOME) as default GUI. There will be a KDE- and a 
GNOME-version for Windows in a year or so. Hence it will also run on ReactOS 
(at least theoratically). So people who like to have a marvelous looking 
desktop enviroment can use KDE or GNOME. Besides there will be dozens of 
usefull application (just think of Kate, K3B, Kile, AmaroK, Konqueror, 
KOffice, KMail, Kontact, ...).
A ReactOS-Distro could, of couse, include all those packages and a 
linux-distro-like package manager. It would be great to see mingw-, qt-, 
gtk-, wx-, gnome- and kde-dlls. This would make a ReactOS-Distro very thin 
and lean because - for instance - every wx-application can link dynamically 
against the wx-library and so on.
