Is ReactOS capable of running all the Windows software OK already? I'm curious if I can actually use it instead of Windows whenever I need a Windows VM.

A lot of software from the Windows XP days runs well. Running newer software than that isn't usually as successful.

ReacOS is a testament to how solid were Windows 2000/XP's UI for everyday tasks.

I wouldn't mind being back in a Windows env/shop with ReactOS.

i'll be glad for the day, when reactos provides an official virtualbox and kvm/libvirt image which can be booted :)

Does any of this translate into actual real-world improved stability yet?

When I followed this link via Chrome, a tool tip popped out of my address bar ("Did you mean reactjs.org?" with some warning about attackers using deceptive URLs). I wonder if there's a way to whitelist URLs with Google to prevent users from seeing this message. Especially since I believe ReactOS has been around long before ReactJS

A bit off topic, but I'm glade to see a project like this running there own instance of matrix instead of the usual centralized/proprietary/censurable solutions.

The way Microsoft is moving, it's feasible to think that Windows 2000/XP will be open sourced before ReactOS is finished.
