I love ReactOS and what they're trying to accomplish. Every release keeps getting better. Weirdly though, it seems like every release is just one release away from me being able to fully switch to it. One thing I wish would get fixed (though I understand why it hasn't been yet) is the USB boot option. Most of the physical devices I want to run it on lack a CD drive.

What is so special and complicated in USB booting that needs special support?

  The info on http://www.reactos.org/wiki/LiveUSB http://www.reactos.org/wiki/LiveUSB says "With current versions of ReactOS, USB support is not advanced enough to successfully boot, and ReactOS will crash when it begins loading system USB drivers." Bug here for example: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-7826 https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-7826

I think you can use Rufus to boot using the ISO file on a USB drive. I haven't been able to test it, but it says it supports ReactOS. http://rufus.akeo.ie/ http://rufus.akeo.ie/

  No problem creating the ISO boot disk but did not boot on my burner 2014 intel i3 motherboard :-( Still I'm glad someones working on this project and will keep hoping the USB support gets fixed in the future
