ReactOS

#1 Post by atomMan » Wed Nov 01, 2006 1:42 am

i need a victim since i don't have a TP yet :)

saw several posts from BigWarpGuy about installing ReactOS, but not many details. i'm wondering if anyone has/is willing to check out the .3 v and provide more details?

I've ran their latest release under an emulator on my ThinkPad 600 running XP and the OS is very promising. While the emulator slows things down a bit, the OS was pretty usable and clean. It's not yet ready as a standalone OS yet but it's definitely getting there. The project has gone farther in the last four years than the first 6. One of the downloads they have available is a copy of Bochs emulator for Windows with a ReactOS HD image if you want to try the software out without nuking any of your computers.

Thanks for the info! I realize it's not ready for prime-time yet, but i just wanted to get an idea on how far it's come along.
