ReactOS The new ReactOS newsletter has been published. "Currently the main development branch "trunk" even though it has many new features and bug fixes since 0.3.0, it currently has several issues that prevent it from being relatively useful. Furthermore functionality that once worked no longer does, this is called a regression. Until trunk has been reasonably fixed 0.3.1 will not be released. Be assured that the developers are working hard on fixing the current issues and bringing forth a good public release as soon as humanly possible."

...the ReactOS "What is ReactOS" I am not 100% sure of the reason behind the project. I understand the usefulness of wine for linux users, but recreating the ubiquitous desktop seems sort of fruitless, as every PC out there comes with it "real thing" bundled into it. There are open source and freeware tools that can be used in lieu of MS tools for many things that run on Windows already.

I'm not saying I don't LIKE the idea of the project... Just that it seems like it is being done just because it can be done, which is fine too.
