If I remember correctly, Hartmut Birr, a developer from early times had suspicions (at the time of v2.8/2.9) that a new and very productive developer had disassembled MS code. His code used the MS calling convention to the kernel, before that Reactos used interrupts to access the kernel.

The other developers disagreed and Hartmut Birr quit the project.

Right, I'd read something like that but without the specifics. If that's over-spooked developers then it's a shame. Microsoft has what it wanted—an almost halting of the project.
