Name clash with ReactOS, reimplementation of Windows.
- bdcravens 8y agoPretty sure that goes back to Facebook's naming of React; Microsoft is just building atop Facebook's decision.
- stephengillie 8y agoIt's not just React, it's ReactXP. Remember 2001, when everything was named XP - WindowsXP, AthlonXP, etc? The name is almost nostalgic. And being Microsoft, I'm surprised it's not "ReactXP.NET for Windows Server by Cortana".
