In Regedit.

Post by Gekko »

Well in regedit there are many strings exactly the same as the Windows NT OS so I was wondering wouldn't that get you a lawsuit from Microsoft? They sued a 17 yr old Canadian, Mike Rowe for opening a site www.mikerowesoft.com (now mikeroweforums.com) and well, they lost and had to pay him but besides that, I dont think you want Microsoft hunting you, like Lindows (Linspire). I'm a bundle of knowledge lol. Don't think I'm sledging or anything I just don't want to see an opensource OS compatible with Windows shut down by the bigger monopolizer.

If it didn't use the same strings it wouldn't be compatible with Windows programs.

* Q How will you avoid the inevitable "Microsoft" text throughout ReactOS?

* A We believe that this falls under fair use. It is also not needed except in the registry.
