ReactOS 0.1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the and-for-your-39th-os dept.

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.

    We are already trying to port low level windowing code were possible from WINE. Efforts are already underway to make sharing code for higher level DLLs easy. DirectX will be another area to cooperate.

    Cheers
