ReactOS 0.3 RC1 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the window-sans-windows dept.

ajdlinux writes "A few days ago ReactOS 0.3 RC1 was released! After a long 6 months without a release this seems good! The ReactOS team has also started a software compatibility list for programs that are ReactOS-compatible. AFAIK the documentation and wiki hasn't yet been updated, but it should be soon. Go get it and try it out!"

  1. ReactOS is a Windows compatible OS by Pigeon451 · · Score: 5, Informative
    For those who have never heard of it and thought "YAY another Linux distro" (like me), it's a Windows compatible OS.

  2. You can already do this by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Informative

    Your security enhanced Windows already exists. Go to users, and turn off the option "Run as Administrator"

    Once that option is off, pretty much none of these baddies run. Cool eh? The reason that more people don't do this is because certain crappy software will refuse to run. This isn't the fault of Windows; this is the fault of this crappy software. Additionally, people would have to run installers as administrators - not a big problem for you and I but it would be a problem for Grandma.

    You're right, it was a while ago. the goal is WinXP/2000 compatibility

    Yeah, if you haven't noticed, it's version 0.3.

    Yes, a number less than 1, which generally indicates a finished version of a piece of software.

    In case you didn't figure it out by now, ReactOS is still under development.
