Yea, I agree... they'll never be able to catch up with Microsoft.. though they've had an opportunity with this lag between XP and Vista.

While I doubt it'll ever be something that's useful to the majority, I do find it an interesting project and I'm sure that they've had a good time and a lot has been learned about Windows internals that wasn't previously known. Therefore, I totally support their effort.. no matter how futile it may be ;).

Deffinitly! Me too. I always think alternative operating systems are very interesting. :)

The problem with ReactOS/wine/... is that they will always run sooo far behind. Every time Microsoft releases a new API they are going to have to implement it, without reverse engineering the Microsoft code. And they haven't even completed the API's from a decade ago. Good luck :P

by the way, here's the source code for an ettercap filter that will log all email sent over the network to a file, and display a message in the window every time it captures email data. (remember that it needs to be compiled with etterfilter first.)


You can replace the C:\email.log with any file you want to log to, but remember to use double backslashes(\\) because backslash is an escape character in C.
