ReactOS dev here. As of today, compatibility is primarily hampered by the fact that many applications don't run under Windows XP anymore.
We don't want to change the entire OS target to something newer than NT 5.2 (XP/Server 2003) at this point. Let's better stabilize on one target than chasing a moving target forever. This is why a versioning system is being implemented right now to allow applications targeting NT 6.x to use newer DLLs/APIs not available under Windows XP.
Check e.g. this recent PR from a few days ago for details: https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/3239 |
