    I sometimes keep an eye on ReactOS - having a modern "Windows XP" alternativ that is always up to date and runs on new hardware would be /very/ cool, particularly from a BBS SysOp perspective.

    I appreciate all that effort being done and it has potential but something about "Reactos" just puts me off a bit. Wish it was called something else.

    I didn't care for an other one named "Lindows" either...

    I can see these projects taking off more if Microsoft ends up forcing the general population to the cloud and charging subscription fees. That will be the certain death of Windows as we know it.

    I think ReactOS still has a lonnnnnnng way to go... no AD/GPO/multi-login stuff yet.

    That sounds like OS/2 and even after decades have not done any of those things.. :)
