The latest ReactOS Newsletter is out. "I've been assured by our release engineer that there are only 2 blocking issues left and that [0.3.1] will be released soon. That said, a kind user compiled the 0.3.1 branch and provided the isos for public trials here. I spoke with our project leader about future releases and he went on to say that future releases (0.3.x) will be made every month or 2."

obviously you have no clue and/or are just phishing for flames.
They are not reverse engineering the main parts. They are reimplementing it API compatible. I.e. they look at available documentation for the interfaces and build something that behaves exactly like the original _on the surface_. Show me your speed in creating a new Operating System, hot d00d..
and fyi they are aiming at the Win2K3 kernel which is considered a stable target for years because it means compatibility with XP/Wihsta.
And if MS really could clean room anything they should have done it when there was time. They are pretty fscked right now with nothing competable to Linux/BSD/MacOsX. Vista sux and I bet they know it, they have created it. Look on youtube for Vista BSODing if you dare, same sh1t all over again.
Screw that guys, I'm staying FOSS.
