"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.

I'm a Linux proponent. And I can tell you why I haven't been interested. Perhaps I am uninformed; I haven't ever really given this much thought.
But I have followed the excruciatingly slow progress of the Wine team for about 11 years now, I guess, and I put ReactOS in the same mental pigeon hole.
Whenver I am reduced to depending upon Wine to run one of my customer's apps, I find myself thinking to myself "Abandon all hope ye who enter here".
Could I be running ReactOS under Xen or something and get better results?
If so, I would be *very* insterested.
