[ros-dev] Status Meeting (November 2020)

Moin,

a few questions:
   * How much work needs to be done to get newer versions of MSVC running 
by e.g. using the shims? (not GUI, only the toolchain, and possibly hack 
around installer problems)?
   * How big is the danger to lose the capability to exchange ReactOS and 
Win 2k3 system files?
   * There isn't a time plan to get at least the core system file 
structure, exports and structures at Win 6+ level yet, right?
   * How big is the danger that newer MSVC versions can't be used to 
compile ReactOS anymore? (E.g. loosing the capability to build Win XP 
compatible files)

I think the first question/solution could be a short time compromise, 
the rest points at the "real" long time solution: targeting a newer 
Windows version..

Best regards,
Michael Fritscher
