ReactOS Reviewed in Depth

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."

  1. It Is SOO Obvious Gates Got To This Project TOOO by Halvy · · Score: -1, Troll

    I mean come on, m$ took about 10 years to go from dos to windows, which was not exactly a big feat.


    ReactOS has gone from nothing to this, in nearly 15 years... soo what is wrong with this picture?

    How can it talk sooo long, to go from nowhere, to .. well, nowhere (basically)?

    And ReactOS had a lot going for it from scratch.. the api's, open source freedom, no billy boy, no blinding greed, and an army of hackers/programmers ready to goto battle.

    What happened to ReactOS is the same that is happening to every other possible alternative to m$.. which is, purposeful attacks by m$ by means of corrupting and jamming protects that Linux and other OSS projects are undertaking.

    The proof is in the pudding, in that there can be no other reason why projects like ReactOS and most Linux distros, are STILL saddled with problems that should have been solved YEARRRS ago.

    Although the m$ scheme will fall short with this ploy, as the OSS Army continues to battle on, be sure to see m$ and it's defenders (ie. the government and other large corps.) start taking legal action againt Linux and OSS in general, including us that make and use it.

    There is one and only ONE way to defeat m$ and it's on going crimes.

    And that is, reverse engineer all of its criminal code, and modifying it to be open source and safe, and release it on bittorent and other p2p with thousands or millions of mirrors.

    This action coupled with physically aprehending gates and his supporters, along with detroying m$ facilities, where they continue to conspire with government and other officials, will be the death nill that will help set the world free from the corporate beast.

    Before you listen to any more drivel by 'AntDude', take a look at who you're dealing with: http://pbx.mine.nu/antdude.jpg. The abortion in the center is 'AntDude'. I won't even get into discussion about him listing his 'sex' as 'female' on his SHITTY 'blog' (aqfl.net). This faggot has nothing better to do than sit on the internet and spew worthless garbage. He's the new LostCluster when it comes to posting utterly worthless tripe. Not to mention his submitted stories! Every single one of his last 10 or so submissions have been tagged as 'lame' or 'slownewsday'. Why does taco even bother posting his shit. Maybe he gets some tiny deformed chinese cock up his taco ass in exchange for some linkspam with google ads? Do the world a favor and never reply to comments from ANTDUDE and mark him as a FOE.
