| **[[en:docs:general:neutral|Neutral personality]]** or **Personality-neutral services** is the real OS API. It is a set of servers and libraries giving away various services. All other personalities need to work via Neutral personality. Most probably, many Neutral services API's will be reused almost as is (in the form of simple wrappers). The Neutral Personality API can be compared with Native NT API -- they are almost functionally equivalent. | **[[en:docs:general:neutral|Neutral personality]]** or **Personality-neutral services** is the real OS API.

| **[[en:docs:dos|DOS personality]]** aimed to provide the functionality of DOS. DOS was supported by the original OS/2 and is still used by many people. For us, this direction of development is very perspective, though it has less priority than OS/2 personality development. So, we don't want to lose too much forces on this goal, so we'll most probably reuse other projects here, like QEMU, VBOX, DosBox, DosEmu, FreeDos etc. | **[[en:docs:dos|DOS personality]]** aimed to provide the functionality of DOS.

| **[[en:docs:win16|Win16 personality]]** aimed to provide partial or full functionality of Win16 up to version Windows ME. Win16 personality actually work under MVM prsonality. Seamless desktop integration are planned. | **[[en:docs:win16|Win16 personality]]** aimed to provide partial or full functionality of Win16 up to version Windows ME.

| **[[en:docs:general:win32|Win32 personality]]** aimed to provide partial or full functionality of Win32. Windows is also one of the mainstream OSes and we can't ignore its existence. **If** it will be possible to para-virtualize ReactOS then we'll also provide Win32 functionality (there is an idea of implementing a HAL, working above l4env/l4re). Otherwise Win32 support will come via WINE project. | **[[en:docs:general:win32|Win32 personality]]** aimed to provide partial or full functionality of Win32.
