I still think Windows app compat for Linux (i.e. as Wine does and Valve productized with a gaming focus) is the better solution since it offers a true upgrade path out.

I realize ReactOS has a potentially wider useful scope (I think device driver compat is part of what they're attempting to do, so it'd offer a solution to keeping niche HW running) but I think it's just a smaller audience.

At this point, if I magically became filthy rich, I would invest in tools that facilitate migrating from Oracle to Postgresql, including Apex.

Is money the issue for this project, or finding the right people?

Or another point of view, if you put a lot of money into it, it becomes a commercial endeavour - would it still be for a good cause?

More armchair internet commenter devil's advocate discussion starters than any opinions of mine to be honest. But, there's a lot of projects that would benefit from no-strings-attached donations.

I wonder if any corporations that could benefit from this project could help bankroll it (of which I assume there are many.)

Wish they had a sponsorship listing on their GH page... I poked around and couldn't find one

Let's become billionaires together. You bankroll ReactOS and I'll bankroll HaikuOS.
