Hi Jason,

Please find my personal wishes for the Reactos Road Map , in order to 
have Reactos running in real hardware.
May be some features will require too much efforts from the project to 
be accomplished. or are not matching the priorities of the project .

1) Minor milestones

- Loading of my NIC card driver ( 3COM Eteherlink3 3C509B) and 
successful ping
- Explorer working with Wine Dlls snapshot

2) Major milestones ( 6 months away)

- Explorer , regedit , Taskmgr
- TCP-IP
- Plug&Play manager
- Azerty keyboard (may be I can take care of it)

3) Major milestones ( 12 months away)

- Mozilla navigator
- Internet access
- USB support
- Ntfs support + Reactos Boot from Ntfs partition
- Game support ( Unreal tournament for example)

3) Major milestones ( 18 months away)

- Installer (hardware and software components )
- OpenOffice
- Audio support + Winamp

Best regards
Gerard
