[ros-kernel] ReactOS Roadmap

[Valentin]

Hi Jason

First milestone (ROS PE)  can be achieved  for 6 month.
We have to create hardware independent  environment to get it.
I want to begin this work in next month.( Does Anybody want to join?)

As regards the second milestone I'd like discuss it with kernel team before.
It depends on  ultimate aim :  (12-18 month away)   :
>From Server  ver.  to creation kernel-mode subsytem for special processing
(Real-Time),
(as it  has been mentioned by Alexey Bragin in previous message)

Regards,
Valentin.

P.S
I'd like to give my point of view on Java support. (As professional java
developer)
Most Java related drawback is lack of good I/O performance.
Therefore  JVM I/O could be implemented in kernel-mode level .
Btw, what about future ROS performance testing tools?
