July 1 ReactOS, a free OS with binary compatibility with Windows applications and drivers, has received the first implemented system call from the Windows NT6 family (corresponding to products like Windows Vista, Windows 7, and 2008 Server).
Added: NtGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx (returns the number of the logical processor on which the calling thread is currently running), a test for this function, implementation in NTOS:KE and NTDLL, as well as related NT6+ RTL/NTDLL-level functions, including RtlGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx and RtlIsProcessorFeaturePresent.
This change is symbolically significant, as ReactOS historically focused primarily on compatibility with Windows Server 2003 / NT 5.2, but in the official description of this OS it is emphasized that it is also looking toward compatibility with Windows Vista and later releases of Windows NT. As Phoronix notes, this is another step towards compatibility with them.
