1. What is ReactOS?
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is
|
|
compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers.

2. Relationship with the WINE project
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ReactOS has always planned to work with the WINE project to share as much
|
|
programming effort as possible. This will mainly concern User Mode DLLs and
|
|
will happen once ReactOS's Kernel Mode areas are more complete, as those areas
|
|
form the underlying infrastructure. Other areas of cooperation lie in
|
|
applications and testing suites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Future compatibility
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows NT 4.0
|
|
compatibility, is always keeping an eye towards compatibility with future
|
|
Windows NT releases, that is, Windows 2000 (NT 5.0) and Windows XP (NT 5.1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
