ReactOS Reviewed in Depth

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the reactionary-seems-a-fair-description dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NeoSmart Technologies has an incredibly detailed (6 long pages!) and mostly positive review of ReactOS, The Open Source Windows. The review covers the goals of ReactOS and how well it meets them, system stability, application compatibility, kernel design and development, and the networking stack. It discusses the use of WINE in ReactOS' kernel and the effect on both its compatibility and development times." For the visual learners, here are some screenshots."

    With Vista coming out soon, many new applications written will only run on Vista because of the new architecture, driver model, etc.

    That seems like a really careless statement on your part. Are you saying that virtually all new applications are being written for an OS that you can't even buy for 6 more months? Boy that's sure going to put a dent in the next 2 quarters earning statements for every major software company.

    Oh, and btw, are they writing for 32-bit Vista, or 64-bit Vista?
