what a dipshit. he fucks up a thread (just like he fucked up my GenSTEP thread) by arguing the nitpicky details of something (what is really an emulator? what's is really bloat?)then he goes away once the damage is done.

shitty. let's get this thread back on track... has anbody gotten the ReactOS apps to run on NT?

It currently ony runs some small GNU apps.
Also, it's currently only focused on NT 4.0.
They plan to use as much Wine code as possible, but they're not that far yet.

insomnia, I remember you saying in one of your previous posts that ReactOS sucks.

Why?

I think it'll be alright, when/if it gets finished.

It doesn't.
However it's basically the same thing as Wine.
Since I don't use(and like) any NT programs, I don't need it.
As a full OS, it doesn't have enough apps.
Technically their's nothing wrong with it, I just don't see anyone ever using it.
(UNIX+Wine makes more sense)

Yes, it makes more sense to use a fully working and functional UNIX based OS and run any Windows software under Wine. Rather than using the half finished and far less functional ReactOS. You also don't get the benefits of running any of the free Linux only applications.

ReactOS isn't shit, it's just impractical, the only reason I can see for anyone using it is, if your unlucky like me and your bloody retarded hardware won't run Linux very well.

Don't you think that the ReactOS developers should work on something more worthwhile such as Wine?  

Oh and by the way:

I've heard that VMS was almost as good as UNIX, if not even better in some ways.

How did MS fuck up a perfectly good operating system?

I know that David Cutler and some of the VMS team worked on NT.

What went wrong?

Did they start abusing solvents or something?

Or did they write good code only for it to get fucked up by some retarded MS programers?
