ReactOS 0.1.0 Released

JasonFilby writes "ReactOS 0.1.0 has been released! ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers. In this release, among other new features and fixes, especially worth mentioning are the ability to boot from CD and self-hosting capabilities (ReactOS can be compiled on ReactOS)." ReactOS has been in progress for a while, often tied to other projects with the aim of seamlessly replacing Windows: you can download an image of Bochs 2.0 with ReactOS 0.1.0 preloaded from the download and changelog page.

    How can you care about something as trivial as ReactOS when 7 astronauts are dead and our nation is on the brink of war. Is America really that heartless and indifferent? If so, I'm quickly losing what little faith in humanity I had remaining.

    What's the over/under on this being yet another OSS project that never reaches 1.0?

    and is no doubt the reason the shuttle crashed. You open source people are monsters and terrorists. I hope the Department of Homeland Security arrests Linus Torvaldes, Alan Cocks, and the rest of you free (terrorist) software dorks and puts you all into ovens to die like the astronauts you people murdered.

    You people are sick monsters.

    Get a job and work on something productive. By the time your finished we will be on NT version 12 AKA Windows XP 2015. By then no one will care about your crappy POS attempt to run NT 4 applications with an ugly GUI.
