This is what I have been thinking. We can move parts of UML back to a subsytem mode and them implement a Xsever in to Win32k.sys/GDI32. You wouldnt even need to recompile X applications provided we implement X properly. All that would be needed is a modded Xserver and X libs. The client libs should still work using X protocal and Xtenstions.
This type of hybrid system could then run any application Windows or Linux and would not suffer from the same problems WINE does because it would be a real Linux Kerenl and GLIBC running.
Thanks Steven
Interesting idea, indeed, to have the ability to run linux applications on top of ReactOS. I think that it'd be great, actually, because I use an awful lot of Linux applications, and it sounds like actually, they wouldn't suffer from the same type of speed problems and issues that WINE does running Windows apps on Linux, nor Cygwin apps on Windows (because instead of emulating, we'd have the real deal).
That might be something that I can *try* to help with, even, but like I've made reference to before, I know next to nothing but C syntax. :-P
Later, Mike
