[ros-dev] ReactOS official compatibility target and the new build system

[Ged Murphy]

This has always been the official stance back from the day when Thomas

We've had this discussion many times from that moment.

Kernel targets 2k3 (additionally with any newer architecture if possible /
applicable.
Usermode targets the latest version of Windows.
