ReactOS 0.3.12 - (free, modern operating system based on the design of WinXP/2003)

[FunkY]

ReactOS® is an effort to create a Free Software replacement for Microsoft Windows® that is compatible with existing hardware and software!

ReactOS 0.3.12 is still in under heavy development (alpha stage) and is not ready for everyday use.

React Operating System

ReactOS® is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows® XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows-NT® architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture.

The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will 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, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows® would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows® and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change.
Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.12 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is not recommended for everyday use.

Modern my ...

I'm still cold to the idea behind it, but it's coming alone. Who knows... one day, it MIGHT give MS a run for the money.

Most likely the day when we're all living on the Moon.
