Re: What is the difference between Linux and Windows?
Windows has stable API and ABI. Applications written for Windows 95 still work on Windows 10. Even Win16 applications can run on Windows 10. Linux is a mess, it have no stable API and ABI. Important libraries often change API in incompatible way for no good reason. For example GTK 1, 2, 3+ all not c...

Re: EPIC WIN!
After the lot of several improvements and fixes from Jerome Gardou (zefklop) in the memory manager (MM) and cache controller (CC), NTFS driver from Windows XP/2003 became work much more stable! In particular, now it is possible to copy (very) large files on NTFS partitions, even those that have lar...

Re: Is windows driver support still actual?
So that you can install vendor's drivers. Where can I get it legally without Windows license? As I said, most vendors distribute their drivers via Windows Update. Well, many video drivers are still available for download, but there are a lot of drivers directly made by Microsoft or available only b...

Is windows driver support still actual?
ReactOS makes Windows driver support as one of its goal. It was actual at Windows XP time when most drivers (including OHCI/UHCI USB drivers) were distributed on CDs with hardware or at web page of hardware manufacturer. Today most Windows drivers are distributed with Windows Update and many drivers...

Re: reactos priority? or mess?
Ocasionally I get BSODs Be careful: ReactOS can destroy all data on partition when performing write operations. It is highly recommended to take backups of important data. Backups should be taken by network (GitHub etc.) or outside of ReactOS, otherwise you can damage backup disk. It is probably be...

Re: reactos priority? or mess?
Do you think that the real MS Windows have been developed by just 10 active developers? And linux? Haiku was also created by about 10 active developers , but it is stable enough for every day use and development. It supports modern hardware such as USB 3, NVMe, UEFI boot, i2c HID (partial, but work...

Re: reactos priority? or mess?
There are 2 critical bugs that block ReactOS usage:
https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-6699
https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-6762
ReactOS can't be practically useful until this bugs will be fixed. So lets wait until it will be fixed or help to fix it.

Re: кодировка cp1251 и cp1252
Не хочется создавать новую тему, поэтому реанимирую старую. В Windows XP в некоторых программах (чаще обучающих) некоторые специфические буквы иностранных языков отражаются некорректно. Например, немецкое слово "schön" (прекрасный). Из-за умлаута (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Умлаут_(диак...

Re: Обсуждение ночных сборок.

Им приходится по большей части переписывать базовые вещи, которые были реализованы не верно, т.к. писать что-то глядя на закрытый черный ящик Windows и сделать его функциональную копию очень сложно. По устройству Windows написана куча книг в...
