A lot of people on /g/ seem to heavily advocate open source software whilst decrying Windows as being a proprietary botnet. Yet I almost never see anyone mention or pay attention to ReactOS -- which is what should be the perfect solution to both issues, and should therefore be more heavily supported.
Why are you not talking about ReactOS, /g/?
If you won't even commit, why should anyone else?
I personally am not interested in the windows stack, unices work for me

Wait so this can run all windows software?
.net?
directx?
>>61993567
Virtual machines with restricted network are better option

It's alpha software, so it won't run everything yet, but recent developments have been making leaps and bounds. It's impressive how much progress the devs have made in recreating every facet of the NT Kernel.

It makes no sense to return to a windows derivative after becoming proficient with an objectively superior operating system
>>61993567
Here's the soluiton
I prefer Angular

These projects are just way to slow to keep up, here we are already on like NT version 6.4 and reactOS hasn't gotten down NT 5 down pat yet.
Granted it is decent progress.

Every time there is a new release of it, there is a discussion here about it, which given a new release is near; check.
>>61993635
yeah, they are going to pull it off imho.
>>61993567
why use a shitty watered down and gimped version of windows when i can just use windows?

If more people were consciously aware of it, I'm sure it would have more foothold. Imagine if it had a dev team with the same kind of support and know-how as the guys who develop Dolphin.
Being able to have a viable open-source replacement to Windows isn't as far off as it sounds.

This thread wasn't made for you.

Stop being a Mac shill
Just use the leaked Windows 2000 source code already
>>61993963
That would lead to a very easy lawsuit.

Can run a bunch of old games and some newer ones. Like skyrim and crisis. That's about it for anything else ask the community if anything has worked for them.

It's going to take till 2100 to get a beta of ReactOS.
