hello there
if i wanted to become a tester on real hardware would it have to be a 32 bit machine or is x86_64 in legacy mode ok?
Mike
it can be both, iirc. btw, we have a spaghetti (italian) group too
Mike
on a 64 bit machine you can test both 32 bit and 64 bit builds, even if ros 64 is even more alpha than 32

A lot of this is applicable to Free Pascal/Lazarus too. It's not a 1:1 translation, but you can still get Lazarus to have a Delphi-ish IDE running on ReactOS, and follow most of the book :D

I know React relies heavily on wine but is it natively compatible with Windows xp software like Win 7 was?

Yes, in a way ReactOS uses Wine source code to implement Windows functions.
The difference is that ReactOS uses its own kernel, which supports Windows drivers and Windows syscalls.
Wine does not support Windows drivers (as far as I know) and translates Windows function calls into Linux or other Unix-like kernel function calls.
Camarada Gato
Although it may not seem like it, Wine itself is practically a toy Windows.
With Wine, you have DRM, regedit, explorer, Wine Internet Explorer, Mono (analogous to the .net framework), cmd, and several DLLs.
So it makes perfect sense for a Windows clone system to use these Wine things, which in a way are Windows programs and libraries.

There's been some work to run USB drivers in userspace with libusb on the Linux API side, but for the most part, Wine is only a software compatibility layer. Hardware is managed by Linux alone.
