It is necessary to try to predict their possible future: like BeOS or like Linux, like StarOffice
or like VirtualPC? This question is related to the money & barter questions and they are related
to the territory, currency, transport etc. Most OS/2 users lives in "EURO zone" or in the East
Europe so it is possible to integrate OS/2 and various *nix clones, or to use another kernels to
make the "next OS/2". The situation in USA is different - "corporations only": Nike, Adidas,
Microsoft, McDonalds and so on. Like VirtualPC, they'll eat ReactOS in the next 5 years

It's hard to eat open-source product. ReactOS is open-source.

What a project! OS/2Free should be a 64bit AMD backward compatable software.
Hope you could make it 64bit/32/16/8 as IBM may never release a 64 bit OS/2.
Forget the PowerPPC, it is old hardware. Kernel is not so important as the apps
that will run on it.

In reply to Sergey Posokhov - 2.3.2004 I would like to point out that several ReactOS
developers live in euro land, one in Italy, some in Germany. If contact is required then
why not take a look at reactos.com .

Do you plan to make some fund for special donations to your project? From your site it is
not very clear, how to make donations. PS: You could organize something like "non-commercial
partnership" or charity fund or something like that. I think, that monetary side of every project
is very important too.
