If your new implementation:

1) Is better than what Windows does today (hint: it's nearly lockless in Win 7, and O(1) since 2003) in every single way (ie: not sacrificing 50% of desktop users for 10% of server users).

AND

2) Maintains full compatibility with Windows applications (and I expect you to TEST this), drivers, etc in every way.

I promise you I will wholeheartedly support its inclusion in ReactOS.

In fact, I will do even more than just that.
