> It's a fringe OS that requires technical expertise to install. That's fixable (and not different from Windows). > Not only that but it looks like "old Windows" That is by far the easiest fix of all. People just care more about making things work right now. Plus, a lot of people actually preferred the older style. > Not only that but it'll have bugs Welcome to software. Windows is also full of bugs. > You'll see tiny pockets of people using it but as Microsoft gets closer and closer to simply having a free OS it doesn't seem likely anyone would ever use this OS for anything beyond "hey, that's cool!". I think it might end up being quite big quite soon: There's a bunch of proprietary software out there that is old, and not Windows 10 compatible. Things like car diagnostics software. If ReactOS gives them a way to get things working without Win10, I'm sure they'd eat it right up. ReactOS just isn't ready for that yet. It's still major version 0.
