"Alex Ionescu, the ReactOS kernel coordinator, has resigned. Alex first joined the project in 2004, around the 0.2.2 release. Since then, he's been at the center of quite a few squabbles about how to code the kernel. However, Alex has also been responsible for completely rewriting the kernel almost from the ground up. Today, about 60% of the kernel code is probably his. The reason for Alex's departure is because of his joining David Solomon's Expert Seminars as an instructor. Because this job would place him in close contact with many Microsoft programmers and also give him access to other Microsoft properties, continuing with the project would have resulted in possible conflicts of interest."

I have never understood why so few people have shown interest in Reactos. It's basically a free version of Windows in version alpha. It implements the Win32 API, and you can install a number of Windows applications. Isn't that a lot better than Linux and Unix in general? I'm sure that when Reactos reaches the stable release, it'll be a breakthrough among the Windows community. Maybe Reactos will be to Windows what Openoffice is to MS Office?
