So, if you started to talk about labs, I'm in testbld lab

I've offered you some free hosting! My host offers unmetered disk and bandwidth if you want it. Can also provide MySQL and other services ect.

As for hosting, i own 50% of a hosting and online backup company (www.sabas.dk), we'll be happy to host the project (php+mysql+svn+bugzilla) and or in its own virtual instance with eg. a hosted hyper-v on a 100mbit unmetered connection with the "project" itself running on.

You can also use my hosting! I have a at least 3MB/s upload, I tested it with a 3MB download PC (lol, probably can do more than 3MB/s). This is the server ALPC is hosted on.

Your address would probably be http://alpc-web.no-ip.biz/hosting/(select something)/ AND http://alpc.no-ip.biz:8080/hosting/(select something)/

Youd have FTP access, SQL if neccesary.
Supports PHP and CGI. ASP is PLANNED, but not implemented yet.

Runs on a Intel 2.6 GHz processor and has 4GB RAM. You can have a decent amount of HD space, lets start at 10GB. If you need more, ask

Count me in. Even though I run a Mac, I have various VM's, and can always boot up an older machine for scalability testing. I have been hacking away at windows files for years, and have a working knowledge of hex editing, and getting things to work together. I've got books for learning C++ and such, but haven't had a chance to give them a go. A project like this will at least force me to learn more
I have a knowledge of VB6 and VC#, as well as minor PHP, SQL, and other web-languages. I'm willing to do some of the nitty-gritty stuff with the kernel, or whatever lies at the bottom of the barrel.

I can do it too. I wrote C# for professional programming, but havent used it much since. I hope this will be a chance to sharpen-up my skills. I also can heavily mod the files...

If you're getting involved too then maybe you could just create a sub forum on your forum?

I offered it to him via PM. Obviously, I wouldnt do it without his permission.

Of course, I was just putting the suggestion out there!

Maybe we can set up mirrors on different hosts to ease the load and make the downloads faster.

Or someone provide file space and someone provide a forum and possibly split MySQL too?

Woah, that's really amazing...I don't mind at all, I'll put it in place of the logo now
Thx, I'll work on the "bar" that slides by on start-up now.

edit: hmm it still is kinda crappy, I'll just clean it up a bit...

I kinda cleaned it up, but not that much.

Thanks!
hehehe Once you make the final 640x480 4-bit file, you'll find that everything will look crapy. It will be impossible to have the anti-aliasing we're used to on the text, for instance.

I'll whip up two examples in a minute: one for that logo, and one for the "one color" idea.

LOL there's no way I'm doing a 4-bit reflection

Srry too late @ Blizzardo1...but it looks a whole lot better now
Here is the first version...improvements are always welcome...

I wish I could at least have a-a

Here is the new ntoskrnl.res Windows OCManage I guess you could test it now...

Made by hand:

LOL "Portions Copyright Microsoft Corporation"

hey could you upload the winlogon.exe file so I could change the "welcome" message.....everyone'll have to vote on what to change that to though...

wow those are some nice boot logs

I've offered up some FTP space, which should help get the project off its feet. I look forward to where this is going. We should probably get a Git or SVN server up, so we can track changes and bugs.

dont we just need a place holder for right now?


i suggest just changing the window logo on the logon background
to a fusion logo...

Ugh, it's not like vista's logon (winlogon.exe.mui) I need the logonui.exe instead....

edit: Ooh I didn't see shell32 there this'll be fun

Few more candidates I made:



EDIT: Logonui.exe is right here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0uydmiuzniu

We really should have a forum special for this.

Then you can make a topic and we can actually vote .

But here is mine already, the top one (the blue colored one).

Wow! that one is B-e-aUtiful
