why

Edge + IE in a consumer based Win10 ? Sure, it loaded faster, worked all right, but it was lacking security features

...wat?

Also, it didn't add a lot of interesting features

Microsoft made it very clear that IE11 was included only for compatibility with corp websites and should not really be used on a regular basis. Edge always got the security features.

Yup, that's true

But then again it should be removed on the next releases as Edge will incorporate a compatibility layer

why would MS ever remove mshtml

apps depend on it

Edge isn't going away dude

Edge isn't going away dude

mshtml and edgehtml will be maintained for at least a decade

Also, it didn't add a lot of interesting features

it did, if you paid attention

only thing stopping that is MS successfully succeeding NT by something else

Well, the Edge engine isn't used by a lot of stuff

Well, the Edge engine isn't used by a lot of stuff

it is

UWP apps as a whole

Hence why it's easy enough to move all that to the new Edge with the Chromium Blink engine

Chromium being the basis of Chrome, Brave, Opera, Edge, and a few others.

Falkon, KDE’s flagship browser, based on Chromium too However, Chromium itself and Firefox are GTK browsers, Falkon is Qt5😊

Hence why it's easy enough to move all that to the new Edge with the Chromium Blink engine

winjs exists

MS had a cute WinRT/UWP JS runtime

where you could call WinRT APIs just fine

Also to take a look on SmartCookieWeb from F-droid😊i need to port that to desktop and get that interfaced using Qt5😃

btw WinRT is also dying, Surface RTs and Windows RT other convertibles are few and far between

Nice !

…

WinRT is not Windows RT

Nice !

👍😎

ah yes, the Windows Runtime is dying

WinRT is not Windows RT

Oh you were talking about the UWP stuff

to be fair, Microsoft never had good naming schemes

That's not called WinRT anymore

But instead, UWP, to prepare the migration for Windows 10 everywhere

That's not called WinRT anymore

what is it called then

Which isn't going to happen until one more decade

what is it called then

UWP

UWP merely replaces Windows Runtime

UWP merely replaces Windows Runtime

It's almost the same lmao

UWP merely replaces Windows Runtime

no, UWP is Windows Runtime

lol

well, the rebranding of the next version of it

no, UWP is Windows Runtime

I was right once more ! Oof

hm

I was right once more ! Oof

a broken clock is right twice a day

doesn’t mean that it isn’t a broken clock

I was right once more ! Oof

dont count on your luck

dont count on your luck

Thinking that luck is a thing is stupid at first

the UWP bridges are AoW/Astoria and WinObjC

the former is dead

the latter is… well not very much alive

UWP's goal is a wrapper free experience, so I bet these two won't last more than 4-5 years

your comment shows ignorance

oh god

your comment shows ignorance

Well, maybe, but UWP as a whole isn't as documented as Win32

Win32 is a totally separate subsystem from UWP

Working with __FIVectorView_1_Windows__CGaming__CInput__CGamepad stuff is fun 😜

for web development, this is probably simpler: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

Yeah I know that stuff.

you got it

Done

Thanx

Well... Again, it'll barely work for four reasons... First, the lack of RAM (zram is like mandatory) or a RAMdisk, a thing that ROS lacks for now. A devkit will work even better. Second, the original hard disk may be swapped for a bigger, more reliable one. These are starting to fail badly (worn out motors, head crashes, dust inside and stuff) Third, I'm not sure if a period correct GeForce III driver is working on ROS (but since I've seen some FX cards working, maybe) Fourth, the Xbox may have a PC architecture, however it lacks the PC bootloader out of the box. Work may be done to softmod an Xbox so it has a PC like BIOS

<hbelusca> huh yes definitively on real HW xbox this is done on a modded xbox with cromwell firmware.

<hbelusca> huh yes definitively on real HW xbox this is done on a modded xbox with cromwell firmware.

Well then, good to know that my fourth argument is gone.

<hbelusca> For the graphics this is done by writing to the framebuffer prepared by the firmware + sending commands to the NV2A controller (as far as I could see from @Stas'M patches).

<hbelusca> The real problem(s) (there are 2 actually) that still exist are:

<hbelusca> 1. need some better USB support (+ implement small support in freeloader) to control input,

<hbelusca> 2. need to fix our FATX support.

<hbelusca> 1. need some better USB support (+ implement small support in freeloader) to control input,

I don't think it would be small

<hbelusca> yeah that's the problem too.

I don't think it would be small

I think it would be more interesting to do interacting with firmware, since it have all required USB code

(more interesting and more efficient)

<hbelusca> 1. need some better USB support (+ implement small support in freeloader) to control input,

Well, sure, for now it only does PS2 input, but remember that XP didn't support that everytime as well...

About hard disks: iirc, compactflash memory card can be seen as ide disks, so this would remove the problems related to old hard disks (and even allow easy access to the files from another PC)

About geforce: even the geforce 610 I use in my htpc has xp drivers (both xp and xp64), but this doesn't mean it's the perfect card to try reactos, or, on the other side, that it will not work at all. The only thing is trying, and if you just need to send a readable output to monitor and trying to play some old games, IMHO a geforce 3 is OK.

yeah CompactFlash uses PATA
