. However, I need Windows on extremely rare occasions so I keep it.Lately, I've been looking for various things to stuff my 300gb HDD, but Windows doesn't like being bloated. So I've looked for other cool Operating Systems to try out. I found SkyOS and it looks like it'll be great but I won't buy it until I know its perfect. I liked the look of FreeBSD and Solaris too (yes, I'm a unix fan). What I really wanted though was an alternative like SkyOS that was free, simple and worked alongside a big OS for all my problems like FreeBSD. Sure, Haiku looks great but it won't work on my machine.
That is when I stumbled upon ReactOS. Sure, it is Windowsish, and it is no Haiku or SkyOS but it just WORKED. (By the way, my advice for the developers is: some plans for the future could be a GUI editor, WINE implementation so that programs that don't work natively can still run, and maybe replace the "get firefox" with a package manager type deal that just downloads recommended software from their locations on the internet. Then I reckon a WHOLE lot of people would be looking at a main OS. Plus, you could get rid of that "a viable alternative to businesses that'll NEVER resort to Linux" rubbish and replace it with "a MASSIVE improvement to Windows (windows 2055 maybe xD)" That'd be nice
)-- Now to my problem: --
I found the Install Firefox button which was a relief as, although ibrowser is AWESOME, it is still a little buggy and underdeveloped.
However, after downloading, the install screen comes up and says "close other applications, blabla, whatever" and when I click next it just disappears!
