(Amazing, this machine translation stuff. It's almost intelligible.) To sum up: 1) yes, wine would like to have kernel support, it could improve performance of realtime apps 2) no, we don't really need it yet, it's much more important to get apps working 3) kernel support is hard (so the chinese effort is impressive if it works) 4) any effort that uses reactos source code may run into copyright trouble during a future code audit / lawsuit (because some reactos developers have seen internal microsoft source code) 5) it would help if there were a bilingual chinese/english wine/kernel expert around. It's hard for us nonbilingual nonexperts to actually say anything intelligent and informed about the chinese project. - Dan
