ReactOS Presented To Russian President Putin

Posted by Unknown on from the putin-rears-his-reverse-engineered-head dept.

An anonymous reader writes "While President Putin was touring the area of Seliger Youth Forum, Marat Karatov demonstrated what can only be described as a fair amount of daring when he called out to the president and requested to present ReactOS to him. Putin agreed, and the project has now presented ReactOS to two successive Russian presidents. Putin responded to the presentation by stating he would think on it."

    I once took a bus from Seattle to Pittsburgh, about 3500km.

    Sitting on a bus for three days, non-stop, was ... not so fun... :(

    [Very long-distance trains, by contrast, are actually quite fun, even in the U.S. and Canada where they're pretty slow; rail's great way to travel if you've got some time...]

    If ReactOS actually becomes stable and usable I suspect a number of large US corporations might be interested too.

    There are lots of corporations that are happy with Windows XP, and the only problems with it is the bugs are no longer going to be fixed, and MS will stop selling it.
