They have a release from a few hours ago?
They specifically meant release, not commit. Latest release Dec 16, 2021.
So these builds happen even if there's no change?

> the guys have way too few resources to ever be able to compete against Microsoft 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.
You should check your attitude. I didn't offend you, so don't offend me.
No offense intended, I meant to playfully point out that you're stating the obvious, which has little relevance to the project and its goals.

Okay, sorry, I misunderstood you :-)
As a matter of fact, I think it is a shame that so few support ReactOS. The idea is grand and think about how many resources people are willing to invest into using, say, Linux as an alternative to Windows (I love Linux, by the way): If those resources were spent on ReactOS, the project would be flying in 5-10 years or so. Then we could perhaps have a well-designed, compatible, free "Windows".

#34I've tried ReactOS quite a few times.
But I still have to rely on running real Windows 7 as a VirtualBox guest to run my HP MFP Scanner Software about 10 times a year.

#35I think this is a great project I have followed for a while.
Havig multiple types of operating systems as open source I
think is vital for further progress towards a next generation
operating system. (Whatever that might be, I have lots of ideas)

#36What works better to run everyday Windows apps?
Wine/Crossover or ReactOS?
I have really wished for Wine to support recent releases of Microsoft Office.

There are A LOT OF changes!
I'm so confused! So there are changes, there are releases, there are builds, but "they stopped releasing" is still accurate?!
They did NOT stop releasing. The are preraring the next release with version number 0.4.15. The changelog of this version will look really huge! There was a delay because of regressions to be fixed
