I've been playing around with this OS for about two years now. Finally, it's getting serious. It's VERY close to Beta, right now! Pretty stable for me, and, I have been able to install it, and install a lot of MS apps on it, with great success.
ReactOS needs beta testers and programmers/developers to help submit bug reports and fix bugs, and even implement features.
Many of us whine and cry about MS often, some of us have migrated, either partially or fully, to Linux and Mac. But ReactOS offers something no one else does. True Windows application operability. This, alone, can save you money.
I encourage each of you to, at least, visit their website. Better yet, d/l an iso and get started, or donate a few quarters to the cause.
Thanks.

I imagine that anyone behind the ReactOS design will have a visit from a Microsoft lawyer if any similarities to any part of MS’s operating system are present. MS will charge patent infringement and tie them up in court until we all have Rip Van Winkle beards.

Sounds like something interesting to take a look at... A lot cheaper than buying another Windows XP distribution...
