Yes, good idea. I didn't yet, because I prefer real bare metal, but recently I started using Qemu for some x86_64 OS dev. SO I'll give ROS on Qemu a try.

Don't remind me of _that_, I just have quitted visiting osdev.org. I hope you aren't zaval from that forum? Well, ok, it actually doesn't matter

so, you are a fan of Windows and clones, but use linux because Stallman said, it's freedom?
Well, kind of. I don't follow anyone blindly. But Stallman indeed has impressed me with some points. And Windows impressed me, but in a quite negative way. Too much price, too much spying on the user, and many more points I really don't like (and which aren't present in ReactOS)

Yeah, Linux in some aspects suck. ReactOS and Windows have their disadvantages, but as I said elsewhere, I'm really a ReactOS fan.
