Some years ago I wouldn't believe I were sending C patches to ReactOS repo
Please share your work in Spanish, and I will be pleased to share on main!!
Julio
There's gonna be plenty of new apps working

My moment!
Chungy
and now I just remembered I have Myst and SimCity 2000, both CDs have Windows 3.1 versions.
Chungy
🤔
Chungy
SimCity 2000 has both the 3.1 and 95 versions on the same disk. Maybe there isn't a compelling reason on ReactOS to use the older one, but heck, why not :P
Chungy
Not bad, the code added just bypasses the need for the shell context menu registry keys :p
Can
SC2000's 95 version crashes: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-17557
Chungy
then I guess I have two things to test. :P
Chungy
that report is from May
Chungy
didn't even get that far... just copying otvdm :D
Chungy
Chungy
I saw this also with word, heh
Chungy
Chungy
and the 32-bit version :b
Can
You could report this to Otya
Can
@jeditobe You could share this COTW screenshot on Reddit, for example

Billy G might instead pay Google to shadow ban ReactOS if he felt his Windows was under threat

Well ROS will remain more niche than Linux which is already very niche.
Anas
>under threat
You mean it is under threat? I don't know what > means

If ReactOS can run windows drivers and softwares, how on Earth will it remain more niche than Linux?

Because at the end, average joe don't care about whether the software is free or not. In majority, people will still use Windows.
Anas
But what about the folks running ancient hardware?
Anas
We dinosaurs really want the lightest thing

And considering how small our community is compared to even freebsd community, it is safe to say it will remain niche, at least before beta version gets released.
Anas
Oh

They still aren't in majority of user base.

and even in 2006, Steve Ballmer thought that Linux was Microsoft's main (non-piracy) competitor.

(one of the things LInux and Windows people agree on: Mac is a joke)
Anas
I've never used Mac but every single person I've met who uses Mac have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to tech
Anas
Except very few, who also always happen to have windows laptops with them

Sh*t no more vaccin from Gates plz

Hi all
Anas
Hi
Momade
How's your day?
Momade
I'm having issues with sending Ctrl-Alt-Delete to ReactOS on VirtualBox...
Stas'M
Reinstall
Momade
Build g990ba54.GNU_8.4.0 on VBox 6.1.30
Momade
Reinstall
Ok, but is it a known issue?
Momade
Yes
Thanks, next time how do I configure it to not use that login screen or maybe auto login?
Stas'M
You can't avoid this problem no matter how you configure it
Stas'M
do not shutdown the VM forcefully
Stas'M
then it won't happen for you
Momade
then it won't happen for you
Ok. Thanks for helping

So, if we manage to put reactos 32 bit inside reactos 64 bit, we could use a 64 bit os and CPU to run natively every windows and DOS program too! 👍
Or just use 16-bit protected mode segments for running 16-bit programs, like what WineVDM does. NTVDM doesn't work on 64-bit Windows because it implements 16-bit support using a CPU feature that's unavailable in 64-bit long mode.

Microsoft doesn't care anymore, Windows is a dying product as are PCs in general
Kirn
The lawyers care more than the company that hired them
Momade

I think I might have figured how to avoid this happening again, even if you forcefully shutdown the virtual machine
Momade
At least on VirtualBox
Momade
Go to Control Panel->Power Options->Advanced (tab)
