ReactOS - Free Windows NT Alternative

If you want a free, opensource version of modern Windows NT, I reccomend ReactOS.

ReactOS reports itself to applications as if it was Windows NT and allows you to use and install those applications like you would on a real version of Windows.

You can install programs like 7-Zip, and have the ability to install themes. Not all programs will be capable of running on ReactOS, as it is still currently in development.

Visit https://reactos.org to download a version.

The creators of this software are looking for testers to install this on real hardware. If you'd like to help support them, consider doing so and giving feedback to them.

The purpose of ReactOS is to provide a free alternative to Windows while still allowing you to run your normal everyday applications.


That's all for today.

This is very cool. I remember reading about it years ago (honestly, maybe a decade?) and it wasn't that useful then. So it's great to see that it's getting more and more usable :)

It's a real insult to m$ :D

Honestly, I think the project is doing pretty good so far.
