So we are going to live with this fact that it will only work with ReactOS sad news On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 2:59 PM, James Tabor jimtabor.ros...@gmail.comwrote: Hi!

Cool! Well, in short~ User32.dll~ We have managed to get most of Gdi32.dll to work with XP and it is only halfway done, I haven't finished it yet. Now User32, it is hard to say, Win32 and User32 use interchangeable shared structures such as SERVERINFO and friends, not included, the ATOM callbacks. I had to sit and think about it for a while and I've concluded it would take years to work out and that was to long. So we are going to live with this fact that it will only work with ReactOS. I have also considered using known information about User32 structures, it is for the purpose of education and to give ideas how things do work in the Win/User interface. We can have theming and things like that in different branches after the smoke clears. I'm open to any ideas that would create a pleasant UI.

Would it be possible to do it after ReactOS already relaces Windows, it's stable, smaller memory footprint, etc. ? I mean, by then everyone will be so excited about it, everybody would have already heard of it (definitely) and they would already be keen to help or something. At which point the devs pull out a list of things that should be done right: a,b,c, d, etc. James Tabor: I need to warn you that this will take years to do right. We already learned to live with the feeling of knowing this only works on ROS. I'm thinking ROS will have fanboys who will come hungry to help someone so that they're noticed. Mr. Tabor, your thoughts ?

This is not an easy task to go into! The little information we have is not going to help in the short term of getting user32 into a state of plug and run for XP or any version of Windows. We just don't have the resources and time to do the job right. I must add, the tools I had access to just is not enough. We need to compromise and live with this fact. Over all we can meet to an API level of compatibility and that is it. Walking away with some understanding how this interface works at the end of the day.

So far, I've only seen it used for malware spreading, but it's there and we should provide one too Where I work we use dhcpd/tftp and PXEboot on both Linux and Windows to do automagical deployment services. The end goal with all of this is a ReactOS deployment system from a single image that can provision ReactOS thinkclients/diskless workstations without the need of a Linux or Windows host. Pushing out a freeldr or grub+freeldr or even pxelinux+grub+freeldr image with a blob containing a ROS ramdisk should be pretty simple using isc-dhcpd/tftp on Linux but I'm more interested in the infrastructure side of things right now. Currently the dhcpd with PXE support is the only part we are really missing. We COULD do it from Linux or Windows right now, but I want to get all the infrastructure in place where we don't need any other OS.
