AFAIK, React OS doesn't use any of Microsoft's trademarks, and they've come out of a pretty long, hard and deep audit to ensure that there wasn't any Windows code in the system.
The only recourse (other than a bullshit groundless lawsuit) that Microsoft has it to produce a better product. And considering that MS are ahead in terms of customers, API users, and paid developers... I'm pretty sure they'll remain on top for quite some times to come...

- userulluipeste 13y agoIn E.U., which is where ReactOS is based now, the software patents are not valid.
