Oleg, nobody wants to take away any features here. VS2010 will continue=20
to run on ReactOS now and in the future. This discussion is merely about =

*compiling ReactOS* with VS2010.

Everyone, please put personal preferences aside and think about the big=20
picture:
We don't have the workforce Microsoft had when creating Windows XP.
The only way we can ever create a compatible OS is by leveraging modern=20
technologies not yet available back then and building on the open-source =

work third parties have already done for us.
If we however decide to limit us to 10-year-old technologies now, we can =

do neither. Don't expect us to ever get this project into a usable state =

in a lifetime then.
The future of the project is at stake here!

I don't want to repeat myself, so let me just link to the reasoning I=20
already gave:
