ReactOS, the open source implementation of a Windows XP/2003 compatible operating system, just published a new interview in their series of interviews with ReactOS developers. Today's interview features the developer Johannes Anderwald, who has worked on source compatibility with Visual Studio Development Suite lately.

"...so by the time we start to see "rock solid" versions the install size may well be more than 40meg."
All OS's grow larger as you add features, thats why OS X comes on an install DVD now.
That is very true that ReactOS will become much larger as they add functionality and compatibility, but I don't think it will ever become as large or bloated. Trust me, I'm not trash talking Windows. I happen to think that Windows is a good OS, even though I'm a Mac and Linux guy
All I can say, is that hopefully by the time ReactOS is considered feature-complete, it will manage to remain somewhat small and efficient.
