If properly created, VMware images are exactly the same as bochs, or Qemu images.
It is the 'sparse' image format of VMware that is proprietary.
As for why I think filedisk is better? I have had problems with image corruption with VDK, and newer vmware images.

"Dialup Adaptor"
The windows TCP/IP stack doesnt discern the difference between dialup and ethernet, because dialup uses an NDIS wrapper driver, called "Dialup Adaptor" for dialup connections.
Basically, you need:
1)Serial port driver
2)Tapi support
3)PPP driver
4)DialupAdaptor clone
5)TCP/IP

ReactOS doesnt use MS proprietary code in any way to my knowledge. In fact, the ROS devs are very picky about that. What ROS *DOES* copy, is the presentation of application interfaces. These MUST be copied, in order for application interoperability. The actuall innards underneath those interfaces ar...

I seem to recall Steven mentioning something about wanting to institute a bounty system... THis would be a good thing to put a bounty on. Course, it would have to be broken up between the devs that would be involved, as an entire subsystem would take more than just one developer to implement... THis...

Actually, the instability issues are inherant with the architecture style of 9x. Basically, The problems with it can be descibed in the following points 1) Win9x allows programs to directly access memory and hardware devices, allowing programs to essentially trump the kernel's control. This means th...

When it comes to GNU environments that I would like to see, I would like to see a windows(actually, ReactOS) native port of KDE, and GNOME. If those two were compiled for win32, with some added support structures, it would sadly strike a hard blow at the Linux Desktop--- but it WOULD give ReactOS us...

Win16 subsystem-
It seems to me that there are a few people around that want to totally ignore the need for a WOW implementation; feeling that if they bury their head long enough, it will just blow over. I couldnt code my way out of a wet paper bag, so it isnt my place to say (at least in terms of difficulty of impl...
