Re: Two decades later...what's the point?
I think ROS is a research project. Its task is not to replace Windows, but to study it. Anyone who wants to run a Windows program without buying Windows-it is enough to have WINE. Using examples of ROS code, students can study a Windows structure. Understand, for most developers, Windows is a "...

Re: Fix of the Week
Looking at the commit history, I noticed that quite a lot of work was associated with the implementation of new commands in the debugger: "!irpfind" and "!poolfind". These commits were made from January 1 to January 8 - it fits into the"week" period. Perhaps in the futu...

Re: Is ReactOS stable enough for everyday use yet ?
ReactOS is more of a research project than a replacement for Windows. The system has big problems with running on real hardware for most users. THIS ALPHA. If ReactOS was developed by a commercial company, no one would know about it, because the system is not ready. If you don't have programming kno...

This bug should have been fixed two years ago. This patch was waiting in the wings. Fix of the week in the nomination "very slow fixxx":

Periodic testing of ReactOS on real hardware.
Hi there! When testing ReactOS in VBox, I recently encountered a virtual machine crash. This led me to think: how good is software virtualization today? Can the virtual machine be 100% trusted? Hence my question: Whether testing ReactOS on real oborudovanii and how often? I understand that debugging...

Re: Win16 quest support in ReactOS
In my opinion, it would be faster to implement a "wrapper" of win16 functions around win32 functions. This requires "library-stub", which could redirect a 16-bit calls in 32-bit. Thus, there will be some "analogue" NTVDM, but for applications win16.

Re: 16-bit Windows Program Support
What?! Wine can run 16-bit Windows programs? Why not just import that part of the WINE in ROS?!

Re: 16-bit Windows Program Support
For me the ability to run 16-bit applications is not so critical. I think in ROS someone has installed Win3.11 and it worked using our current NTVDM. If anyone needs Win16 apps, even install Win3.11 in ROS. But there is another problem, which is more important for ROS. Many of the old Win32 programs...

Re: GSOC USB test
The same problem as before. FDODeviceExtension->ActiveSrb != NULL. I have a RECYCLER folder on flash stick. When I use it, the system may start to lag. And can go into the debugger. See https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-11367. If necessary, I can put a Debuglog with your build.

Re: EPIC WIN!
ReactOS as a game platform is one of the MAJOR potential uses for the o/s. Games could be the single biggest reason why ReactOS thrives, don't knock games! I am a serious computer user but I also paid approx. £100 for all the Total War series of games when they originally came out. These are not pa...
