Thread: Reactos

Anyone got any experience with ReactOS?

http://www.reactos.org/

ReactOS® is an advanced free open source operating system providing a ground-up implementation of a Microsoft Windows® XP compatible operating system. ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems, by using a similar architecture and providing a complete and equivalent public interface.[/b]

I've heard of it quite some time ago, but I'm very skeptical of finding a decent use for it other than perhaps as a curiosity. It's certainly an interesting one though, but I wouldn't develop for it in a million years (god knows what Microsoft might do if it ever became popular).

No, but from reading the home page I like the idea. Microsoft can't like it too much though . If once it gets past alpha stage I'd definitely consider getting it. A free software that can run microsoft apps; what more can you want? Sorry I can't say anything about it. I would try it out a bit, but I don't really have time currently.
