And if we're also being generous regarding GNU, it took them maybe 20 years to get where they are. It took X Windows, assuming we're referring to the X11 protocol and not the original, 21 years to get where it's at. It took KDE 12 years to get where it's at. It took Linux 17 years to get where it is now, and this is with hundreds of programmers worldwide and massive corporate support. What we are trying to do is the equivalent of writing the Linux kernel, the X Windows System, Qt or Gtk, KDE or Gnome, take your pick, and the various utilities that come with a standard Linux distro, from scratch, by one team. ROS is, by all means, a massive undertaking. The internal designs of both OS's are massively different.

Wrapping Linux drivers to NT does come with a lot of issues. Syllable desktop core is more Unix style so wraping Linux drivers in is fairly simple. So port of wine to its desktop is no different to wine port to other Unix's. Note Z180 newer Syllable is using a Linux kernel. Reactos main advantage will be its use of Windows drivers. Now if someone wants to work on a better emulation system inside NT now that might be a useful project to Reactos.Д®ven Freedos highly functional clone of a dead OS. Also no point trying to rescue them since binding to a dieing driver system also limits the possible live of any 9x clone project. Its not really Reactos job to rescue these dieing markets. So there are good chances even the OS/2 warp clone will just die out completely and in about 5 years most people will have forgotten the need and the most important people have forgot need hardware makers.

There is a chance the OS/2 remake has started when there numbers of supporters have died out too much. The wasted many years trying to demand IBM to open source the OS/2 code base.
