I'm new to the list and just pulled down ReactOS for the first time 
yesterday.  Very impressive, you really blew my mind with it.  I work 
for a K-12 facility and the impact we would feel from the product that 
you're developing is almost indescribable.  Does anyone have a URL for 
the changelog or perhaps a development map?  I've been talking this up 
to anyone who will listen.


I like the mod you made on the freeldr, it does seem much more like 
ntldr.  Do you have a download availble?

Thanks,
