Re: [orca-list] ReactOS

["Mgr. Janusz Chmiel" <janusz chmiel volny cz>]

Reactos is really opensource Windows alternative OS. Keep in mind, that 
MSAA, Oleacc.dll and other libraryes have not been made to be compatible 
with Windows based screen readers. You can also have problems with sound 
drivers.
It is not real, that Reactos community will implement MSAA ccccompatible 
mmmmethods and functions.
I have debated with Cross over ddeveloper and he told Me, that it is too 
complex to implement it.
May be, that it would be possible to develop screen reader by calling some 
classic API functions, but you will return to The 90S, when screen readers 
have randomly crashed, and many apps have not been compatible with screen 
readers.
So if Wine wěill not support some app, Reactos will very probably also not 
support this app.
Rather mix Linux with Wine, but not use Winetricks to download Windows 
components, you will brak The license of Microsoft Wiiiindows and it is gate 
to prison.
