I've thought this as well. I agree there's value in aiming too-high, but the amount of effort which has gone into ReactOS would have served Wine really well.

- broodbucket 11y agoThere's a ton of shared code between Wine and ReactOS. They are rather complementary.
- mindo 11y agoOnly 5%
- broodbucket 11y agoOne is an operating system and the other is a Win32 compatibility layer for *nix. I'd say 5% is a lot.
- recursive 11y agoThe converse is true also.
- restalis 11y ago"the amount of effort which has gone into ReactOS would have served Wine really well" That may be partly true. Partly, because you falsely assume that anyone contributing to ReactOS would contribute to Wine. These cover common technical ground (of Windows application binary support), but from different ideological prospectives.
