ReactOS 0.3.1 released

zekrahminator · Mar 13, 2007

For anyone who hasn't heard of the ReactOS project, it is a version of Linux that undertakes the extraordinary task of running Windows XP programs using Windows XP drivers....natively. This project isn't exactly new, which is probably why we haven't been hearing much about this. The jump to version 0.3.1 does a lot of things, such as a rebuild of the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). The HAL handles communication between hardware, software, and the kernel of the operating system. You can read the full list of updates here.

Anyone who'd like to try ReactOS can download it off of thier homepage.

ReactOS is Linux Based? I recall it having nothing to do with Linux. In fact, if it's Linux based, how will they get Windows drivers to work?

Awesome....Ive been wanting to try a linux build (dual boot or something else on another partition) but was afraid, due to all the programs and games I have that wont work with it. Ive heard Lindows was pretty awesome...not sure about driver support though.

Well, if it isn't Linux, then it's it's very own thing

Looks ok. IMO they should change the OS skin, it just looks ugly.

check out this OS

http://www.menuetos.net/index.htm

it can fit on a floppy disk...with the ability to surf the web, and play dos games via dosbox.

Looks like something you would find on a palmtop.

Surprized MS isn't all over those guys ...

Ketxxx · Mar 13, 2007

They havent copied anything, just made it windows compatible. M$ cant sue over that, otherwise they would need to sue every software company thats released software that runs on windows.

Hmm... I see .. didn't read the who thing .. just saw a pic of the desktop and assumed it was a OS on it's own
