I immediately thought about ChatGPT or some other AI assistant with GPT in its name as an alternative to Copilot, lol.
Coming soon: ChatGPT for UEFI! /s
I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”
Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.
I can’t tell if you’re pitching this as an MSSQL alternative or if someone forced you to work with Oracle on Windows. Either way, you poor, poor soul.
When I worked for New York state they had a bunch of oracle on windows projects. It sucked. The prisoner transport system ran on MS access lol
The prisoner transport system ran on MS access lol
This is just…Well, if you wrote a prison escape movie that involved accessing an Access DB to reroute a transport you would be laughed at.
Lol I’m more worried about the Oracle tax tbh

Sounds cool, though I’m a bit confused as to why that is such a big priority given that ReactOS currently aims to replicate Windows NT 5.2 (XP x64 / Server 2003), which did not provide graphical set-up*…
* Technically all Windows versions up until, IIRC, Vista had their install process in two stages: a text-based stage where you’d input the most basic info (what filesystem to install onto, what Windows directory to use, etc.) and a graphical stage once the basic files are installed (where you’d be asked what devices the computer has, whether it’s networked, date/time, etc.). From Vista to the present day, the first stage is graphical as well. ReactOS’ latest release uses the pre-Vista model, but the latest blog posts indicate a move to the more modern one.
Fuck no
Why?
“Windows”
So from the title, you could already tell this wasn’t a project for you. Yet you still felt the need to open this thread just to complain about its existence?
