if skyrim works they have done a good job

Good features, but last time I checked the overhyped ISO wasn't even bootable. That's such a basic feature to mess up, you can't even take them seriously.

Cool that Skyrim is working in ReactOS, although I bet the game will break in it and Wine once the redux / special edition versions are released for PC as I believe the game will move to a DirectX 11 based engine.

Wow, skyrim and doom 3 can be played? that's impressive, show me this.

I'm not sure about 11,but dx 10 is available for wine, is it not?

Last time I tried, It did not boot on two bare machine (an full intel core2 laptop and full amd system)

Oh, it did boot on the AMD one but no USB port was working so it was not really usable without the mouse/keyboard.

Yeah they really need to get the base system working... like they have filesystems but they need CPU and they also need GPU and of course all the HID stuff, usb and sound would be a good start...

Wonder if you can use alsa on there...

None of them are entirely implemented. In most games you have to use the DX9 fallover.
I highly doubt Skyrim can works on ReactOS, last try I did I could not even install Winrar...

Is the only proof we have is a strange video on Youtube? Someone tried?

Ok, I did a search of thier PR and application support pages..... I didn't find a single mention of Skyrim and Doom3? Where did you find this Michael?

EDIT: Never mind, stopped trying to use reactos.org, and instead just google-fu'd. Found it.
