Think of ReactOS as a replacement for Windows XP. The selling point is more that it has compatibility with things like NT-based drivers, rather than being the future of compatibility with Windows. I have heard that you can set up Office 365

Sure, but there's no guarantee they'll do that in every case or at every employer. Here there was a smoking gun, so the government could easily act on it; do you think that'd be the case for everyone in our field?

IOMMU handling is pretty broken on a lot of motherboards, iirc. I recall having to use a patch to force Linux to ignore incorrect IOMMU group handling to use VFIO.
