I've got an eye for this sort of thing, and all I can say is-

IT MAKES ME REACT IN A GOOD WAY.

Nice work.

Right now the best thing for ReactOS developers to focus on is a feature /code complete 32bit OS. Then work on 64bit.

Personally, the best managed file system for me is Apple's HFS+ with Journaling.

Mind you, exFat in Windows 7 provides the same kind of features that NTFS does, but with a compatible FAT.

Good luck with the time it will take to create WPF on top of Mono!

by Kyuuqsoft » 31 Jan 2011 03:17 I'm using Cairo as a Aquais Default theme for Aquais OS. (Built in an ROS Technology). I'll release a Beta in July, or August, 2011. and Release in July, 2012. ok. I'd like to know how because Cairo doesn't even work without WPF and .NET 3.5, both which do not run o...

For Cairo shell without our code, that would still be their decision.

For our code, redistribution for intent of commercialism just will not happen. It's free, and will stay that way.

Since I haven't posted in a long time, I would say C#, since it's my forte'.

Second best would be Java for it's portability. Runs on nearly every OS out there. If I spent more time with it, it would probably replace C#.

Yikes. Even I wasn't stupid enough to develop an OS with no money. Look how bad that went. Disaster. At least people got paid for work that failed.

The more and more I'm reading this topic the more I'm drifting off to sleep.

Z98: Speaking for the original Cairoshell developers and contributors indirectly, I am sure that they would not permit anyone to resell Cairoshell in any form. Now speaking for Element Software, we will not permit anyone to resell portions of the code that we and our contributors developed. So any o...

Great work, the new start menu is excellent and I agree with the Vista Explorer layout.

The more closer you bring ReactOS to modern windows era (e.g XP) the better.

Keep it up!

Firstly: Cairoshell is an open source project, and is shared under a duo GPL and shared source license. This does not permit anyone to resell cairoshell, its source, in binary form or in source code form. It must always remain free and open to the public. Secondly: Cairoshell requires Windows Presen...

I'd say stick to the existing ROS explorer they have.
I attempted a file browser / desktop on ReactOS, didn't come out well.

I would contribute massively to ReactOS' userland, but I'm waiting for the project to hit beta, and for its graphics layer to be improved a bit.

Sounds like that dumb OS project I started off a year ago.

At least wait until ReactOS is beta and it's graphics subsystems are beefed up, then do all fancy stuff, or learn the hard way like I did.

Seems more logical to me to build ReactOS on Windows. It's so much more easier.

Never had any issues building ROS on Windows with the ROSBE.

ActiveX is Microsofts ancient techology in providing COM access to many components in Windows. Eg. MSHTML.dll provides a COM interface for Trident, for use in nearly any Windows programming language. What we define as an 'IDE' is just a GUI for source control and application development. If you are ...
