ReactOS no threat to Windows
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 13:43.
ReactOS is an implementation of Windows Server 2003, still in alpha stage, and very interesting.
But it is no threat to Windows. None at all. Especially compared with Linux.
Here’s why. Sponsors.
Linux has big corporate sponsors behind it, starting with IBM and Google, companies which depend on the software, which run it in scaled installations, and make money off it.
React can’t even think of going there. (Unless, say, HP endorsed it, and that’s not going to happen.)
There’s a second reason React is going nowhere.

re: ReactOS
Interesting name, and some hardcore dedictaion from their developers.
After looking at their history and projected roadmap/timeframe perhaps MolassesOS would have been a better choice (or maybe OSNukemForever would be even better).
For those of us that don't have the lifespan of a Timelord, I'll stick to shelling out $140 USD or so for the real thing.
re: ReactOS
I looked at it over a year ago and it wasn't very impressive then. I don't know what kind of progress they've made by now tho, but it seems like an idea that just isn't gonna fly.
