======================== ReactOS Version 0.3.x Updated July 28, 2007 ======================== 1. What is ReactOS? ------------------- ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista). Website: http://www.reactos.org/ 2. Relationship with the WINE project ------------------------------------- ReactOS has always intended to work with the WINE project to share as much programming effort as possible. This mainly concerns User Mode DLLs and still happens to a degree today. Other areas of cooperation lie in applications and testing suites. 3. Future compatibility ----------------------- The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases. 4. Supporting other System Applications --------------------------------------- The Windows NT architecture allows for subsystems, as does the ReactOS architecture. A subsystem is an implementation of the APIs of another operating system, allowing ReactOS to run applications from other systems. We are already looking at subsystems for: Java, OS/2, and DOS and possibly others in the future. 5. Tutorials ------------ Developer and User Tutorials: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page The tutorials contain more information on the project, compiling and testing ReactOS - among other topics. Contributors to the project are always welcome. 6. Author --------- This document was written by Jason Filby ([email protected]).
