- sp332 15y agoEdit: that's in the FAQ https://www.reactos.org/en/about_userfaq.html#changegui https://www.reactos.org/en/about_userfaq.html#changegui It's a Free, binary-compatible clone of WinNT. You can now run (old) Windows apps with no license fees paid to MS, and without any proprietary code on your system. edit2: did I mention it's more secure by default than a normal desktop Windows install? WinNT has some pretty nice security mechanisms, if you use them right. As a trivial example, users aren't admins by default.

- prg318 15y agoAnother thing noted on the homepage to keep in mind -- "Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.14 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is not recommended for everyday use." That being said, I gave it another shot in VirtualBox with the recommended guest settings (Windows NT 4) and I was pleasantly surprised of how smooth it felt. This project has come a long way.
