Sorry, let me clarify: I don’t think ransomware is a reason to target NT6. I think ransomware is contributing to wake up big institutions still running NT5 to switch to NT6, which means more software will be ported to NT6, which means (along with other reasons) that NT5 will be even less

Rest assured, we know that ReactOS won't be of much use if we stay NT5-only. Work is underway to provide a seamless support of NT6 applications on top of the existing codebase. Also the majority of developers should be using an NT6 platform themselves, so they certainly aim for support for NT6

rasomware is definitely not a reason. Windows XP may be patched against it. Its not a matter of design, but implementation. On Thu, Jun 29, 2017 at 6:54 PM, Riccardo Paolo Bestetti < riccardo.kyo...@live.it> wrote: > I’m just gonna snap in for my yearly IT guy NT6 rant: this mindset is > going

There's an easy benefit for them: it reduces their test matrix. That's why you generally only support platforms that have value, rather than supporting everything unless and until you have a concrete reason to drop it. On 2017-06-29 16:08, Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO wrote: I’m wondering for which
