Potential synergies between China's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godson#Loongson_3 Loongson 3], a MIPS CPU that can emulate x86, and a MIPS port of ReactOS that can pass x86-compiled applications to the Loongson should also not be overlooked.

Information now public in forum. May work together with Elledan (Maya-sama/hackkitten) such that said link gets put into proposed ReactOS Web Store. May discourage ppl due to inconvenience, but if ppl do do it, they may want to buy other ReactOS paraphenelia.

Alternatively, use Topcashback.co.uk as a jump point, since they pass on 100% of the cashback earned from the affiliate programme.

Basically, ask users what brand of computers they intend to buy over the next few months, sign up for the appropriate affiliate programme, profit.

Discuss with the web team about placing an image banner on the front page, whose link is dependent on where the user is connecting from.

Wine has an affiliate link with Amazon, see http://winehq.org/site/contributing#wpf . We should use an affiliate link to sell copies of Russinovich's and Ionescu's book
