Yes, we know what you are refering too. 

I however think reactos is going good the way it is.

To take an other more recent released free operating system as a reference, FreeDOS. Everything you need can be downloaded directly from freedos.org. You take the ISO and it runs out of the box.

This of course does not mean that there are other DOS kernels or other command line interpreters or compilers somewhere else on the net. You can still do some things better and then let people dowload that if they want.

Reactos is much bigger, but the same principle should apply.

  Surely some things really could be split off into separate projects if people felt the urge without causing any real problems.

  This very ftp server, for instance, or a replacement shell (as in a new explorer.exe).  The kind of projects that require more common application developer skills, rather than reproducing Windows internals.

  ...alright, so the appropriate shell hooks aren't in place at the moment. Bad example. Hopefully you kind of get what I'm referring to though.

    Well that is exactly the reason why linux is broken. Completely useless unless you pay someone to make a distro.

    Please make that kind of crap a thing of the past!
