[ros-kernel] ReactOS Roadmap

[Valentin]

Among other major milestones in ROS roadmap,
I'd like to suggest the following:
1. To build the base for ROS Preinstallation Edition
    This is a complete Win32 environment with GUI & Network support running
from CD.
    It can be used in future for recovery & other goals  as rescue platform
(e.g when
    a host  non-booting system can be restored  with ROS PE )
    There are  companies making recovery tools and looking for this OS:
    e.g Winternals,  image LAN , etc.   MS Win PE has very expensive license
    that  accessible only for big OEM   customers.
    I am ready personally  to take part in this  undertaking , after NTFS
will be comleted :-)

2.  To enable OS adjustment  for  various goals:
     - Workstation or Server key building possibility.
     - Creation Real-Time possibility by means IRQL engine tuning in the
time of compiling.
        In W2k  user-level applications execute only when a processor's IRQL
is at passive,
        therefor it isn't suitable as a real-time OS. We can try to adjust
ROS to enable, that
        special case in a live system won't cause the system to miss an
important deadline.
      -Open source OS is more attractive for enterpises  as long as it allow
to get customizable
        parameters (e.g to change the max. count of open sockets in host)
     - We can exploit   most weak features of Microsoft Windows to draw
attention from
        potential investors.

       Regards,
       Valentin.
