I don't really know much about it, but I remember reading that because of the structure or the NT recreation of ReactOS, it's not compatible, but there was a fork that was making reactOS compatible with the wow64 implementation of wine, but I'm not quite there, I could be wrong (excuse my English, I'm using the translator

WOW64 is 64bit, the 64bit development just begin since few years.
For Wine, there are libraries in common and some with partial sharing.
The sync is made manually and not often, because it needs lot of test.
Don't forget, Wine is based on Linux kernel and Reactos on NT compatible kernel, there are some code to translate or to change, it's not possible to auto-sync that.

We do auto sync quite a few things. Most user mode DLLs can be. But the testing if it kills anything still is the process taking most of the time.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...

Would you please explain in what way this helps ReactOS? If you try to express that we go and steal the MS binaries, I strongly recommend that you re read the rules in here...

I believe d2010 is saying that Windows 10 has the best WoW64 implementation so React Os should not try to have one and that they prefer Mac Os over both Linux and Windows

If that is true:
Nice for him. Then why is he here? Maybe I did not see the bus full of ppl who care about what he likes and what not?
