Ummm... Eric wrote the e-mail a WEEK before applying them. *NOBODY* had any objections then.
Also you keep avoiding the question that Aleksey and 15 other asked: HAVE YOU TESTED THIS ACTUALLY BREAKS ANYTHING???? Finally, everyone needs to realize there is a chance of data loss with a pre-alpha OS. I suspect there will be many other changes that will require a destructive re-format. When I was a tester for Windows Whistler betas, every new release required a complete reformat of the disk. Windows Me preview formatted c: when you formatted a:, and a newer beta physically damaged the disk by sending wrong commands to the disk heads. If you, when testing ReactOS, or any other OS, are expecting anything else than a fatal destruction of your testing rig, and that every release which does not do so is a miracle, you're not an OS tester.
