React Operating System

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.

ReactOS is the most complete working model of a Windows® like operating system available. Consequently, working programmers will learn a great deal by studying ReactOS source code and even participating in ReactOS development.

ReactOS has and will continue to incorporating features from newer versions and sometimes even define the state of the art in operating system technology.

In short, ReactOS is aiming to run your applications and use your hardware, a free operating system for everyone!

Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.4 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature complete and is not recommended for everyday use.

Guys what so you think about it

Sounds pretty cool. I'll definitely keep my eyes on this project, cuz i may want to use this when it's ready for every-day use.

One day I may not need a windows box at all. That would be a cool day!

I decided to move this to "General Computing" instead, due to the fact that it is more fitting there. The post, however, remains stickified. If any other staff disagrees, then just move it back and remove this post, and if any other member disagrees, then just contact staff : )
