"It is just a joke"
by: THor
ReactOS 0.3.13
Pros: Pros? Cons: Crashes more than Windows 95, it is not ready for any use, not even for alpha evaluation. Other Thoughts: I've tried that joke OS for years, on different hardware / live CD / emulators.
It every time crashes doing anything, the most common software does not work or crashes the system immediately (ANY Firefox version, Opera, etc) most of the time after the BSOD the system needs to be re installed.
Network not implemented, USB never worked for me, no working browser... very useful system!
And I've never managed to read (from independent sources) of anyone really using it, at least for the most basic tasks: for me ReactOS remains a big hoax!Was this review helpful?   12 out of 30 users found this review helpful.

"0.3.4 is another step to improvement."
by: jason
Other Thoughts: I know I am leaving another rating and comment, which I was comenting on ReactOS 0.3.3. Now that I have tried 0.3.4, I can see we're getting somewhere, but be reminded that this is only in the alpha stage. ReactOS won't go beta until 0.5.0; therefore, we still have a long road ahead until beta comes. Note: ReactOS reminds folks that the operating system is not recommended yet for everyday use.Was this review helpful? 32 out of 71 users found this review helpful.

"I totally support this effort in order to be free from the MS dominion"
by: jason
Other Thoughts: Basically, ReactOS is made to mimic Windows; specifically, the team at ReactOS goal is to make a MS free version of Windows 2000. Granted that the effort will take time to make it perfect, but I give the team all props so far that they are on the right track to free the user from the grasp of Bill and MS.
