jimmsta Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Then there's those of us that tend to hope and think that bits and pieces of ReactOS and WINE can be used in older Windows OS's. I'm 20, and I still examine these possibilities. I also attempted getting the skinning engine from early builds of Whistler to work in Windows 2000. I'm a dreamer, I guess. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
