New-Explorer does load in ReactOS now after a few important bugfixes, but it doesn't completely work yet. It displays a taskbar but no desktop yet. There are a few things that need to be implemented in ReactOS before it will work.
Also New-Explorer isn't completely finished yet, there's a lot more work to do. There is no file browser at the moment iirc.
The old one has some memory leak problems. It also is programmed in C++, while reactos developers prefer C. The new one will be programmed in C, and will be better, and more similar to Windows's explorer.
The new explorer will proplare not be ready for 0.3.4
it is allot api left that need be implement before it works.
and allot bugfix as well. We maybe will see the new explore
in the version after 0.3.4, But I do not known which version
it will be included yet.

I hate to disagree with a fellow dev, but I can say with some confidence that the new explorer will not be ready for a long time, and it certainly won't be in the release after this.
I wouldn't expect it to appear for well over 6 months, probably more like 12.

What's holding it back? Lack of features or compatibility?
