I was totally hoping someone was using kickstarter to launch home nuclear power generation using thorium. That I would have funded immediately...
OK, sure, a Thorium reactor project would be worth funding, surely. But a /home/ thorium reactor? That's not exactly an HOA friendly endeavour, is it?
There are several problems I see with this. Firstly, from their literature I am guessing they want to be grabbing on to people who want to continue using XP style services after Microsoft cuts support for XP next year, however I feel they will most definitely miss the boat with this one, 4 months is not a big migration window let-alone for development of the product. Secondly, their core offering is support. A lot ca…
ReactOS is still in alpha stages and I can't see a difference between the ReactOS I first saw in 2006 and the current one, it still is extremely limited when it comes to running advanced windows applications.
Also Windows cloud computers aren't that expensive, a Windows cloud on EC2 costs only a few cents more than a Linux one plus you can also use Azure.

Especially when more and more software is being written in platform-agnostic languages like Java? I feel like a company willing to migrate to something like ReactOS could just as easily migrate over to some *nix variant. The only Windows-only thing that I can think of being essential would be Office (that mig…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It never really meant anything, it was just a marketing term that went too far, encompassing so many different technologies and services that it could be applied to pretty much anything.
It never meant anything new, but it does mean something (mutualising resources and having access from anywhere and the like).
I'm pretty sure that for any given definition I could give you a counterexample or two that's had the label slapped on it :)
(Unless it's "has a network connection")
Windows only? How deep in bed with the NSA are these guys?
ReactOS is opensource!
why do we need a windows clone?
