collaboration with Longhorn reloaded?
Could collaboration between ReactOS and Longhorn reloaded bring something interesting? http://longhorn-reloaded.org/
The legal issues could also be a reason for them to switch to Reactos. If I was a Longhorn programmer I would rather take some steps back and build my one code on a legal ReactOS Core than, then put all my effort in something that is doomed to be born dead.
Of course some of the existing code of Longhorn may have to be rewrited for legal reasons. But then there would be a solid base for the future. It could give ReatOS also an extra push. They seem to have some good programmers ...

good programmers?.... exactly what did they program?
and, anyways, this was already posted not long ago... http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3959

If they had the source code it might be interesting. But all they're doing is UI hacking an alpha build of longhorn. Even though they have one "developer" I'm sure he's not digging in any of the actual system components. Stuff like KernelEx and 98 Revolutions pack, now *that's* interesting.
It compiles, let's ship it!
As always i don't agree so mutch with ROS devs...Ged wrote:We don't want anything to do with Longhorn reloaded.
There are so mutch many hacks/tweaks/unofficial packs (check MSFN's Microsoft Operating Systems - Software Discussion & Support Subforums to figure out how many...) expecially for Windows 98 that has been abandoned by MS.
KernelEx, Windows Jackhammer, Windows Lupus or Revolutions Pack are just some example of peoples that are interested in improving Windows (even in open source way).
I don't think we should exclude them... we should convince them to switch (look @ my ironical 3ad about RP sources lost) !

The "hacks" the people at longhorn-reloaded use (that btw, they didn't make, they took someone else's work) were made because the incomplete and unstable nature of the system... and were needed to add some functionality to it.... it's not something that could be helpful... and the rest they have done is photoshoping some stuff together... nothing to brag about
knowing that, projects like KernelEx (and Windows Jackhammer, Windows Lupus or the Revolutions Pack) cannot be put together with longhorn-reloaded, as they are really adding 32-bits functionality to a 16-bit kernel.... that's an awesome job to do and could be interesting to use in ROS, and nobody is excluding them as far as I know

I actually read that when I was reading the RP thread, and I find it in extremely bad taste to say something like that just when someone has lost all his work. You should be ashamed of yourself.forart wrote:we should convince them to switch (look @ my ironical 3ad about RP sources lost) !

how about we talk about it so more people won't come later and ask the same thing again?Reacter wrote:How about we don't talk about anything illegal anymore?
I find it pointless to close the thread, there is no heated discussion, no one is insulting anybody else and talk about something that is not legal doesn't make it illegal... besides, the point as been made, longhorn-reloaded is illegal work... why close the thread?
