Uh, he wants those applications to run in ROS, not trying to develop an application and compiling it into the ISO.

If you're a business, we might be happy to help on condition on some sort of monetary incentive, since the devs are all poor on time resources and have other things to attend to, such as day jobs. There are also other priorities as well, such as fixing the broken FAT32 driver and implementing a USB stack. The first thing you -could- do however which would not incur any expense would be to provide URLs to the less well known software you have listed, namely

YM7
Camfrog 5.1
Billing Explorer 2007
Transtool/TransXp
Gameonline
Be Twin/Pc Cloning/PC Station/PC Net

(Deep Freeze is searchable, just Wikipedia'd it.)

Ahahaha. Start helping code the stuff then

Requests aren't taken very well around here, because frankly, it's a spare time project, and they aren't doing it for you.

Unless there is money involved, of course

Money always helps, yes

I think the whole "Don't request things, we aren't entitled to do anything for you!" isn't healthy for any project, especially an OSS one.

But sadly, ROS is still in alpha, and so many things are broken at the lower levels that it's just not feasible to work at getting specific, user-level applications to work properly (and with improvements at the system level, improvements at the user level will naturally come). If you just need to run a few specific Windows apps, then maybe Wine is more for you.

However, if you have a genuine interest in improving ROS as an FLOSS alternative to the entire Windows system, then submit bug reports, with detailed debugging information. If you don't know how to do this, then ask. Plenty of people here would be very willing to help you out.

Yet with a project as this, where the technical challenges to overcome are immensely great, it is that way. It's not to say that user input is not accepted at all (no, any project would fail if that were the case), it's to say that people who come to the forums, and say, "I'd like program x and y to work, thanks" will be highly disappointed.

I *said* that...

What's sad is you often see that mentality ("Submit a patch or go fuck yourself!") in other OSS projects that are perfectly capable of handling user input...

[Lone_Rifle]

That said, pushback is a common feature in any project, even commercial ones. It is often good practice to not overpromise and underdeliver, and that includes entertaining feature requests that you're not certain of implementing.

The correct way to do this is to say: "I'd like program x and y to work, but they don't. Have a bug report."
