What if you want to run vendor provided Windows-only binary drives for some weird hardware?

  ReactOS attempts to implement the driver interfaces as well.

    Exactly.

  Those 0.1% of the users are likely going to have to buy Windows. After 17 years of development, ReactOS is not really usable with mainstream hardware, so it is unlikely to be a solution for weird hardware.

    "it is unlikely to be a solution for weird hardware" But it's there for the taking and tweaking! It's the same as you solve your own problems in the *nix world, but it's for the cases where you really don't have any other solution but but to work with the hardware vendor's black-box provided driver. BTW, don't expect that buying Windows will solve your problems (because Microsoft seems to have acquired a taste for moving fast and breaking things lately).
