I still don't really understand the advantage of ReactOS in any particular situation, although I suppose if you really liked NT-era Windows (and people do) it's a re-enactment society for that.
Having an elevator-pitch somewhere obvious where an idiot like me could see/find it would have been nice. They really could have put 'awesome' in 15 different fonts and sizes, and maybe some 'more awesome' in there and it would have told me just as much.<p>I'll save everyone the wikipedia jump: This is intended to be binary-compatible with windows NT-based applications.
Wow, now if these guys could magically continue support for WinXP, they would become filthy rich!
Of course this is not possible, since it would entail uninstalling all current XP machines and installing ReactOS and hoping that ReactOS == WinXP
I wonder if ReactOS could position themselves as an upgrade path for Windows XP users, now that Microsoft is ending support?<p>"Switch to ReactOS--run your legacy apps out of the box, and stay current with security."
This appears to be a pure marketing site aimed at getting IndieGoGo donations. Nothing really new to see here if you've looked at ReactOS in the past (no, 0.4 isn't out yet).
Hah my first thought seeing screenshots was "oh, looks like windows 95" :D but the page was more about "joining a revolution" than giving me actual information
