the first real windows OS competitor
by Gabi SolomonYes i know there are other competitors for Windows, that are very real such as Linux or MacOS , but you have to admit that they are pretty exclusive. I mean this in the way that some software that you run on windows, cant use on the other OS because there is not version of that software that suports the OS.
I believe this is one of the reasons why people use windows a lot, this and the fact that people got used to the windows feel and look.
Free alternative to windows
Today i found out through the youtube chanel of chris pirillo about a new alternative to windows called ReactOS
ReactOS is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture.
The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow your Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change.Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.5 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is not recommended for everyday use.
Below you can find his review of this new OS.
Hope you find this usefull
Cheers
