## AI overview

A GSoC participant reports the first week of work on improving ReactOS's USB 1.1 UHCI driver. The update covers setting up ReactOS and Windows 2003 environments, compiling and running ReactOS in virtual machines, investigating debugging methods, testing USB drivers, participating in an IRC team meeting, and preparing a test plan.

## Source excerpt

Hi! My name is Vardan and during this GSoC I'll work on UHCI driver improvements. Why ROS?Now, when human is becoming more and more dependent on computer it becoming critical to have open-source OS on it. You can feel really secured only when you're able (allowed) to see any part of OS which can control all your data. For the student who is studying computer science, the best choice was Linux (especially when classroom computers working only under it).
