Posted this before! ReactOS is an unique project platform and to just have one sole project is not what this project is about. What have we learn from Arwinss to date, the source of our win32k issues is wine itself. (ref r44800) It's an add on to X11, so wine thinks per process and not the whole of it. Meaning, it draws based on one application and does not consider the full X11 environment. So it's hacked to work. Arwinss attempts to move beyond this and with wine using our kernel in itself is amazing! This is why we have both now.
