These great people are working hard and doing high quality work which will hopefully bear great fruit.
On the other hand; Windows has had many hundreds of person years of effort poured into backward compatibility. Reactos just isn't really going to get that attention because it is really dull and unrewarding for volunteer developers.
So at the end Reactos will run most of the better behaved apps and some of the popular ones. It will have stable drivers for most of the better documented components and a few others. It will still run too many of the viruses and other malware from MSFT.
I salute their ambition and admire the dedication but it leaves a picture of being another minority sport for geeks. (And yes, I hope I am wrong).
