As you may have noticed, the ReactOS website has been completely revamped. During the last year, the ReactOS Team has been focusing on entering the 0.4 era, the latest major alpha series before the 0.5 Beta. A common feeling among the ReactOS community was that our (now old) website was not good enough from content, design, and technology points of view to honor one of the greatest releases in the ReactOS history.
Join us for the very first ReactOS Hackfest from Friday, 7th August to Wednesday, 12th August 2015, in the German city of Aachen. Discover Germany's most-Western city in the direct neighborhood of Belgium and the Netherlands. Within the historical city center, Aachen offers a scientific environment and a high density of pubs. Let's catch this atmosphere to code the week away and achieve great results as a team! It is now time to plan your trip!
One of the most important ways to maintain our ReactOS development is through Donations, another way is through helping us reach out to new and cool developers by sharing these news! We're proud to share that our Shop is not just including the USB stick, but also.. 6 new and crazy pieces! A must have: An awesome ReactOS mug for your breakfast or evening coffee which can't look better. Do you see how that black background makes ReactOS orb shine?
Thanks to Oldman, we're proud to announce that UltraVNC 1.0.5 is now running in ReactOS. UltraVNC is a powerful, easy to use and free remote pc access software that can display the screen of another computer (via internet or network) on your own screen. The program allows you to use your mouse and keyboard to control the other PC remotely. It means that you can work on a remote computer, as if you were sitting in front of it, right from your current location.
Thanks to BlackFox, we are proud to announce that "C&C: Red Alert 2" is now running in ReactOS. So if you have a "lazy evening" just give it a try and enjoy the Allied or the Soviet campaigns! A GamePro reviewer said about this game: "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is the best 2D real-time strategy game since Starcraft". The ReactOS Menu is shown just to prove this is not a Windows capture but a ReactOS one.
The ReactOS (R)evolution has begun! During the last couple of months we have been compiling all your feedback and suggestions about ReactOS in order to come up with a new paradigm. Now the time has come to show you what we've been working on: ReactOS Community Edition. ReactOS Community Edition is.. special, not just as a form of connecting further with our Community, it also opens doors to new ideas and strategies. We hope that you like all the work that we've done as we got inspired by a lot of your ideas.
For a over a year we've been working hard on the ReactOS (R)evolution. It is undoubtedly the largest initiative from the ReactOS Foundation so far in terms of Strategy and Evolution. When Microsoft started counting down to the end we started counting down to a new beginning. Big changes are coming, while you will find some of them desired and expected thanks to your feedback and support, you'll also be greatly surprised by some others: It's time to move ReactOS to the Next Level.
"A picture is worth a thousand words" Thanks Giannis for this awesome work
An interesting tidbit. First because the motto seems to be real: "We are All. We are everywhere". Second, because they have just twitted the following:: As you may know, ReactOS began a Kickstarter campaign to create a business product to help supporting and boosting current ReactOS development. What is it about? Thorium Core is about taking the ReactOS operating system from the proof-of-concept and engineering stages to building a fast and lightweight solution that can be tailored to suit the computing needs of both private and commercial users.
This time a double-win. Not so long ago trying to run a whole office suite was almost a dream. Just launching an app was a success.There was just one complex suite almost working: "SoftMaker Office 2008". A nice, and mostly unknown, Microsoft Office clone. It was such a good Office clone that it is closed and non-free. From past experience you can find two kind of users out there: "
