patchworks

Well, ReactOS is an NT clone. Wine & Linux are not so mutch compatible with drivers. The unique way would be E/OS LX, but "is based on parts of linux, freebsd, reactos and wine sources" so it just could help. Anyway my idea have a different approach that allows you to have a fully functional system since 0.0.0.0.0.1

The idea has been self censored by the author. @forum mod: lock the 3ad.

Check it out --> Official website Tango Icon Gallery ...hope to see some kind of 'pack' that change 9x into a tango-style desktop !!!

A tiny utility for Duron Model 7 or Althon 4/MP that enabling SSE properly. Check it out !

Same here.

Not a great problem. To get an idea: you can legally reverse engineer anithing for educational purposes.

Windows XP Theme 2.0 Anyway, seems that Theme Manager is free... can it help ?

What a 'fishy' day ! Iconoid

that's the reason i asked XP theme in uSP ! Anyway i'm pretty sure that XP icons are patented, so i think another way is to get a cool XP-like patent-free icon set. Here are some links (personal use is free for all)... DRL WindowsXP Visual Style (cooool !!!) download it now Fast Icon's Yahir Vite's ...more @ InterfaceLIFT And from Wesley Parish' editorial @ OSViews: ReactOS Nightly Finally, already suggested: Windows Explorer Patch (256 color TrayIcons)

Another suggestion for the 'uSP' (unofficial Service Pack):Inpout32.dll

Oh, well... check out the Install Order ! Well, i don't have the ORIGINAL license of Windows ME, and i must keep my OS legal.

...er... Windows 98/SE/ME compatibility/ports ?

Yeah, i want XP theme, but not 98SE2ME !

And what about extended/mmedia instructions (I mean SSE, SSE2, 3DNow!, etc) ?

...and what about XP icons/colors instead (or, in alternative) of 2000 ones ?

Optimize Swap File Performance Optimize the DefaultRcvWindow & DefaultTTL Settings Speed Up ISP Logon Time Faster Modem Dialing Change the Size of the Virtual Disk Cache and mutch more ! Do you know WinBoost, Window Power Tools tweaks ? There are many interesting settings for everyone ! What about adding a registry clean before/after the installation ?? http://www.tweaknow.com/RegCleaner.html

Well, seems really few tweaks. Check out these (i know you already know them): WinGuides' Tweaks for Windows 98 Griffin Digital's Windows 98 Optimization Guide Getting The Most From Windows 98 - Tweaks and Shortcuts! Optimize Settings ...and many more ! Why not adding these tweaks too ?

Well, just curious of 'performace tweaking' applied by the SP2.01. Can you list them ? There are many interesting sites/softwares that can tweak win9x very deeply. Are all useless ?

Dunno if it's a blasphemy here, but what about Ieradicator ? http://www.litepc.com/ier_lic.html

...and well, to anyone interested, here's my open source software list @ ReactOS wiki (contributors & testers needed too...).

Bella raga, era ora ! Ecco un link che potrebbe interessare: Bittorrent tracker for free and open source software

Oh, well... i mean functionality Err... have you evere heard something sbout Bittorrent ? ...looking for open source only, thanks ! B)

Yesterday i founded this really interesting 3ad on Hydrogenaudio: Essential Software, Software that you shouldn't live without There are tons of applications suggested by users that i never hearded before, and i found that many of them are really interesting. Check it out ! ...and remember to check my open source software list @ ReactOS wiki

About software CPU coolers: check this website ( [quiteOT]: does anyone knows an open source CPU idler ? Thanks in advice ). So, as you can read, many peoples consider the media player as a part of the OS...(quoting myself)

BSPlayer & K-Lite Codec Pack are not open sourced. MPC & FFDSHOW are more in MicroSoft vein (more vfw) than VLC. If you decide to put FFDSHOW you don't need anything other (for audio too). (sorry i edited while you were answering...) About NTFS: already discussed, and if i remember well... it's (almost) impossible. Anyway here is an open source implementation: NTFS driver yes.gif I suggest to take in some consideration OpenBFS wacko.gif Cosmetic: Open source Icons/boots/walls whistling.gif Another thing: do you think it's usefull (it possible) to 'update' DOS utils ? (format, fdisk, etc)
