I got ReactOS to work in VMware Player so far!

Post by allenwrench »

It seems to be working in VMware enough I can play with it without BSOD or CTD, so far so good, I tried installing ReactOS on real hardware and I get an error I cannot find a file, I'll post it but well at least it's a libre windows-like OS, though I'm hoping it will get to v1.0 soon, it's a more of a play with it and see than it is a real competitor to Windows, though with most of the software Microsoft is making libre on GitHub under MIT license it might be possible to incorporate some of it, especially if we get an NTFS like system in place to replace btrfs

Please don't hope, you will be disappointed.

I don't think of ReactOS as a competitor to Windows, for me, it is just a reimplementation of Windows without using the original source code. So, when finished it will BE Windows, just with a different name and without all the management and UIX feckups.
