Let us go cool and obscure today: a review of ReactOS, an open-source Windows-compatible operating system, including setup and installation as a virtual machine, desktop look & feel, customization, basic usage, browsing and multimedia, application management, resource usage, performance, various bugs and problems, relevance and future, and more. Take a look. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/reactos-0-4.html Cheers, Mrk
Interesting, but looks almost obsolete even before it's completed. Development seems much too slow, considering how fast everything else is going.
I tried it some years ago: - it's again an Alpha version ? - does it works on 64 BIT ? - there is a live cd version ?
It was a nice try, but it is dead. React OS is somewhere around Win95/Win98, even XP is better off. Linux in comparison is around Vista/Win7.
Developers lack the resources and clout of Microsoft in doing rapid cycle update of the operating system. When you don't have that, it'll always remain incomplete with a half-finished feel and look to it. Windows is fast and stable and that's why its #1 OS on computers worldwide.
