## AI overview

This first weekly report describes preparing ReactOS and Windows Server 2003 virtual machines to test Word 2010 installation and compatibility. It covers MSVC builds, VirtualBox configuration, debugging and tracing tools, VM snapshots, and limitations of several monitoring tools on ReactOS.

## Source excerpt

Hello everyone, I am Hermès Bélusca-Maïto. This is my first week report, as part of the part-time scholarship that I started two weeks ago, that consists in making ReactOS being able to support Word 2010. Preliminaries Before starting anything with Word 2010 I needed to prepare a testing environment. Because I am a native Windows user, I use a ReactOS trunk build made with the MSVC compiler. This ReactOS build was then properly installed and adequately configured on a VirtualBox (VBox) virtual machine (VM).
