Hi all, I am new to this mail group and have a question that probably needs your kind of technical knowledge to answer. I want to use reactos, however, up to its completion, can I use some libraries on windows to replace them? In example, wine libraries can be superseded by original windows librari

If I understand you correctly, you want to replace ReactOS dlls with Windows dlls? Well, it's illegal under the Microsoft Windows EULA, but if that doesn't stop you, bare in mind it probably won't work, as ReactOS does not directly clone Windows in all areas and in some areas things are implemented

Oh. That's an even worse idea. Ruining a licensed copy of windows, possibly irreparably. On 23 May 2010 20:43, magnus johnsson wrote: > I think he meant the reverse. He wants to use Reactos DLL's in windows. > > 2010/5/23 Andrew Faulds > > If I understand you correctly, you want to replace Reac

Why would it make it more secure? In this case it's not illegal, it is legal, but you'll ruin your windows installation, and make it very unstable or even entirely unusable. ReactOS dlls are not safe to add to windows. On 23 May 2010 20:59, ahmet alper parker wrote: > I mean I want to compile re

Yes. A Windows install that doesn't start up is FAR more secure than a Windows install that does. On 23 May 2010 21:09, Olaf Siejka wrote: > The only way it is going to make Windows more secure, is due to making > applications NOT running on Windows. I am not sure if this is what are you > tryin

For reasons of security of course. Don't you ever have a better answer except these jokes? Personally, I do not like microsoft, ok?

You weren't listening were you? ReactOS doesn't work properly at all. Windows will NOT WORK AT ALL if you replace dlls in it with ReactOS dlls. ReactOS is still in early alpha, it is extremely unreliable, terribly incomplete and is not secure. It has thousands of vulnerabilities, and is no way more
