Operating Systems > Not Quite Mainstream OSes
ReactOS 0.3.0 released
the_darkside_986:
I have high hopes for ReactOS and it would be nice to see it becoming as usable as Windows 98 or more unrealistically, Windows XP. If we had a free open source OS that could run anything that MS Windows could run, then we could throw away Windows once and for all. I would dual-boot ReactOS and Linux--two great types of systems, both being free (as in beer and speech). If the PC's of the world were dominated by free open source OS's, then how could, for example, the RIAA, an American group, tell some developer in, for example, in Asia that his OS must always include DRM or else? Free operating systems are free from the clutches of evil monopolies and big organizations that do not care about the customers' rights.

Good first post!
And welcome to microsuck!

Thank you. I would help with the React OS project if I knew how to develop operating systems and had enough time to do so. I barely have time to try to develop software that can do my Linear Algebra homework for me.
I still buy CD's whenever I have extra money but I am not about to pop it into the PC unless I've got Suse Linux running. Not only does Windows Media Player fail to render the speed of the song properly, I also don't want a big corporate-made virus. I haven't tried to listen to a music CD under Suse Linux 10.1 yet but whenever I need to I will try it. It should work since mp3-playback also works out of the box.
I cannot wait for ReactOS to become beta software. Whenever that time comes, I will make a LiveCD of it and try it. And if M$ dares to try to f*** this effort up through groundless lawsuits, I will help people get a free copy of Windows XP. (Not through downloading or hacked kernels--I've got my method which I cannot reveal.) They already are annoying me with their news of a stupid groundless DRM hacker lawsuit. Either that, or I will encourage people to try newb-friendly Linux distros and give them a burnt CD of freeware games for Linux as well.
