(former dev)
ReactOS is an open source reimplementation of Windows NT series operating system (e.g. Win 2003 Server, 7, 2008). Similar to Linux started as an reimplementation of Unix.
ReactOS has binary compatible with Windows. This allow your Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used (Win95 classic style and WinXP theme support).
ReactOS is still in development, but a lot of Windows apps and some several types of hardware drivers work fine or with minor glitches.

- jksmith 13y agoWould love to dig up my old Win95 Holmes' London theme with the smoking pipe mouse pointer to see if it would work with ReactOS.
- mickeyp 13y agoGosh I remember that theme! Don't forget the "Island Man" [0] screensaver, Johnny Castaway. We used to spend hours watching him and his antics back in the day. I miss the whimsy of yore. 0: http://web.onetel.net.uk/~gnudawn/johnny/ http://web.onetel.net.uk/~gnudawn/johnny/ Observe: a proper, old-school 90s website unravaged by time.
