Yea someone posted this a while back and I haven't been following it. It is still in its infant stages as drivers / programs are limited. (I know it is only at version 0.2.5) I can't wait to see how it will turn at for its first initial non-beta revision. Always good for competition.

the next release, 0.3.0, which is coming up sooner or later, will include networking support . combined with all the progress and help they've gotten from the Wine project, we should see development for it picking up quickly. i've definitely got hopes for it, especially once longhorn comes out (longhorn breaks compatibility with all older windows programs and requires a baseline computer extremely powerful compared to what many lowincome organisations and individuals can afford)

but for now, i'll stick with gentoo + wine + vmware

Don't forget the following links:

ReactOS Fansite - Compatibility
React Operating System
Gasmann's ReactOS Fansite

The main site is still somewhat fragmented, but this will be improved in the coming months, as more things are moved to the same server.

It's always somewhat frightening to re-read threads one created a while ago

Only frightening if pictures of you and tequila bottles are involved!

and I'll deny any such photos!
