People, I'm not sure the original poster meant it "that" way. After all, you have a very decent website, and if he got to the talk pages, he most definitely has not overlooked your "download"-links. I rather think he means: "it is 5th April 2014, where is ReactOS 0.4?" - well, truth be told, dear ra...

...by a split second, my dear...

I believe the adjective is "Sisyphean".

Webunny, I think you are a smart person, and when I have time, I enjoy reading your arguments - but truly, the LENGTH of a post is a form of a TRANSACTION COST. I fear much of what you say is lost to it. I say this with all respect. And as much as I understand the development of a topic through mutu...

Ah well... hiding my amusement at this discussion really is not an easy task. The cook comparison is rather interesting. Kindly allow me to spin it further: - You so far have a cook that cooks a meal a year. He does it well, but it is quite clearly about ONE meal per year. This is too rare. He was t...

If you need an exchange of some sort, could it be "an increase in functionality"? Is kickstarter really limited to "goods", or might you exchange a "service"? Like, when the new element is done (I entirely concur with dizt3mp3r, btw), you send the 1$-sponsors a link by e-mail for the new release tha...

Well, license costs for LARGER machines, indeed, are not significant - mostly, not even to the private individual, particularly when put into relation to a 2000-EUR-machine (and even to a 500-EUR-machine). But put into relation to a 50- or 20-EUR-"machine", the Windows license suddenly becomes intol...

Black Fox, did you even read what I was writing about? :roll: I was writing about THIS: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/do-it-yourself/edison.html Useable as a prototype would be THIS: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/29/review_intel_galileo/ (And I was very obviously NOT writing about th...

Dear Forum Members, the kickstarter project has filed. So far, so bad - so what... ReactOS can start a new one. I propose the collection of ideas of what can be done. The "Thorium" remote application service idea did not materialize. But there may be OTHER ideas, and maybe we can find something that...

You're kidding me. OK, let me tell you something: "the Windows license is for free" - practically speaking. Why? Because Windows costs you some 100 - 200 EUR. One-shot, for several years. If you compute the "per day"-costs of Windows, it is absolutely negligible. I bet they spend more on sugar for t...

You know, one can pledge 20K without a problem now. Why? Because you do not have to pay if they do not reach ANOTHER 80K. - I would be SERIOUSLY impressed, though, if someone were to DONATE these 20K in REALITY, maybe even concluding a contract for the implementation of a feature of his choice.

I just checked out the GSoC-page... and I have a little proposa with regard to the paragraph referreing to the sourcecode of Windowsl: you usually do not " swear ". In English, you typically " r epresent ", or if you want it more expressive, " represent and warrant " (whereby *that* "distinction" is...

"Thorium" does not help. "ReactOS" helps - if it can be installed and used by those people who are your target audience. China has some 90% pirated Windows, and Gates himself said, he prefers it that way, rather than them using Linux. Your market, so far, are exclusively geeks. They are the only gro...

But everybody knows kickstarter vs. nobody knows gofundme. The whole attempt was rather doomed - they got some serious campaign going on and did it well, but only after half the time had already passed, and frankly, everyone who sees you have some 20K after half the time, does not need to waste his ...

Firstly, anone who takes interest in your survey may well view it multiple times, so "views" does not equate at all to "viewers". Secondly - and much more interestingly - your post is an indication of a certain "view to action ratio". We may say that a thing can be viewed 20-25 times before anyone e...
