Err, we are trying that.
Hmm, you want to create an Explorer clone as well? MS Paint? What I meant was, it's not necessary to recreate every aspect of Windows the desktop. Windows the platform yes, maybe.
And a standard winsock OCX falls under the "to be done" category for me.
Ok, cool. I'd guess it's like MFC, nice to have but as apps usually ship with it, not critical. But if somebody is going to write it, then that's great :)
