- * In what ways will ReactOS change the IT industry in the future?
* How can it help the world financially when it's finished?
I would like to collect some Pro and Con arguments of how ReactOS would affect the IT industry when it becomes a finished stable product. Help me get started or point me to blogs that discuss about this regarding how ReactOS will affect the IT industry in the future?

I'll sort things up with a Wiki page when I have the time to play with it!

Pro arguments collection
1.) MS qualified tech support persons will be able to deal with ReactOS.
2.) encourage more open-source applications to be written for Windows.
3.) opens up the internals for anyone who wants to learn about the architecture, or see what exactly a kernel routine does internally.

Con arguments collection
1.)
I didn't really understand EmuandCo's explanation there but it sounded like an important Con argument to think about. Maybe he coul'd elaborate a little in here?!

2.)Even Ballmer could "win". If a noob buys a PC with Vista, he will probably stay on it anyway. If someone needs professional support, which a FOSS OS cant offer, like for Commercial Servers, they still would have their ppl around them. The only ones who might vanish are the ones like we are. The ones who like Windows NT and its internals, the easy way to set it up and keep it run, but dont like the way MS implements and especially sells it overpriced.
