VNext

vNext is the upcoming development hive of OpenXP, intended for fundamental changes. Ideologically, it is principally derives abandoned nova branch, but with relatively new approach.

Planned features

Since vNext is relatively new development hive, it plans to integrate following things in general;

• Finalized port of source code under Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK's compilers, which include fixed AMD64/IA-64 compilers,
• Rejuvenated kernel, similar in principles to MinWin and Linux, portative and compatible with older Windows NT family operating systems (e.g. ` Windows NT 3.1 and Windows 2000),
• Replacements for most of shell programs with backwards compatibility with original programs (e.g. ` New Task Manager),
• Bringing to public release of OpenXP source code by re-checking code audit.
