Summary
NtGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx has been merged into ReactOS, giving the open-source Windows-compatible OS its first Windows NT6 system call.
The change adds NT6 processor functions aimed at Vista compatibility, with the new call returning the logical processor number on which a caller is running.
ReactOS described the merge as another milestone for a project that has persisted for nearly 30 years, even if the function itself is relatively small.
Last month, the project marked a separate milestone by running Valve's Half-Life, underscoring steady progress in broader Windows software compatibility.
