It's a goal for ReactOS to be at least "barely usable" for 2025!

ReactOS - Barely Usable by 2025 I can see the slogan now...

LOL I think with enough time it will get there. Considering that it was stable enough to look around the desktop without crashing. I didn't use a VM btw.

Microsoft was clear on this fact, the Win32 applications will be supported, only the System will be 64bit only (and for this second point, it's not set in stone).

That's a perfect niche for ReactOS, many linux distros are migrating to 64bit-only, the market for 32 bits systems is getting out of reliable options, and many applications may run with misbehaviors (or even not run directly) in newer windows versions, thus ReactOS can become in the only OS supporting them.

I know that, I don't agree with linux ditching 32 bit platform since in many ways there code has gotten very sloppy and slow but that just my opinion. And yeah reactos can fill up that void.
