30 years of ReactOS
ReactOS, an open-source projectto develop an operating system that is compatible with MicrosoftWindows NT applications and drivers, is celebrating 30years since the first commit to its source tree. In that timethere have been more than 88,000 commits from 301 contributors, for atotal of 14,929,578 lines of code. There is, of course, much left todo.
It's been such a long journey that many of our contributors today,including myself, were not alive during this event. Yet our mission todeliver "your favorite Windows apps and drivers in an open-sourceenvironment you can trust" continues to bring people together. [...]
We're continuing to move ReactOS forward. Behind the scenes there areseveral out-of-tree projects in development. Some of these excitingprojects include a new build environment for developers (RosBE), a newNTFS driver, a new ATA driver, multi-processor (SMP) support, supportfor class 3 UEFI systems, kernel and usermode address space layoutrandomization (ASLR), and support for modern GPU drivers built onWDDM.
