I was invited to join the ReactOS project about 10-12 years ago. I was part of it for, say, four days, then I left. I realized I could format my system drive with no warning or error. Then did a code review and realized that this project will never fly. I appreciate the motivation and goals, but I don't think you'll ever see a usable release of ReactOS. I am not against ReactOS, but the guys have way too few resource…
"ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft® Windows™ NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7). The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows Server 2003 compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases." I always felt…
More and more software has quickly lost XP compatibility. I'm already finding myself struggling to download software I want to try on ReactOS itself because modern browsers are essentially unsupported. If it wants to remain relevant, it'll need SOME Windows 7 APIs at least. It doesn't need full compatibility like I think it should with older releases, but it needs to be compatible enough to run a few nice to haves as…

Really? Are you absolutely sure, Sherlock? Did you know that the water is wet already or are you going to announce that in your next comment? ;)
The project has many other reasons-to-be and it would probably be very hard to find anyone seriously believing that "competing against Microsoft" is one of them.
They stopped releasing, I think the project dies.

Isn't it a bit ironic that you left the project because it had too few resources?
