Still way too buggy

Just played around with the VMware Fusion virtualization on Mac OS X for React OS.
It is FAR from usable. It loads fast, but I'm sure you're aware of all the problems already... It was hard to get a connection to the internet, I could only get the basic web browser downloaded because it would crash while downloading the other one. Installing the VMware tools crashed ReactOS mid-install. No network connections working. Impossible to use shared folders with the mac, so I can't even test out the CrystalClearXP pack to see if I can make it look a little nicer. Menus would block screen sometimes. Random system crashes, etc. Keep working on it... if it can become twice as stable as Windows (meaning you can use it for at least an hour without a crash), I think it has a chance.
