1. What is ReactOS?
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is
|
|
compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft® Windows™ NT
|
|
family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Seven).

|
2. Relationship with the WINE project
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ReactOS has always intended to work with the WINE project to share as much
|
|
programming effort as possible. This mainly concerns User Mode DLLs and
|
|
still happens to a degree today. Other areas of cooperation lie in
|
|
applications and testing suites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Future compatibility
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows Server 2003
|
|
compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with
|
|
Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Supporting other System Applications
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Windows NT architecture allows for subsystems, as does the ReactOS
|
|
architecture. A subsystem is an implementation of the APIs of another
|
|
operating system, allowing ReactOS to run applications from other systems.
|
|
We are already looking at subsystems for: Java, OS/2, and DOS and possibly
|
|
others in the future.
