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."

You have to understand that people are literally FORCED to upgrade windows - as Microsoft leaves them with very little choice.

Oh come on...Windows 98/ME was supported until what? 2004? Stop making biased claims...

Sorry, I was referring to usable OSes - those were barely feasible for actual business usage.

I'll assume you're being sarcastic anyway - since 6 years is barely a scratch when it comes to supporting an OS. I believe you, sir, are the biased one as it's obvious you expect to pay to replace your OS every few years (and subsequently be forced to upgrade your hardware).

I'm hardly biased...I use an OS when I need it's features...I have an iBook, a Linux Server, a Linux Desktop and a Windows Laptop...and barely a scratch? Well seeing as the first popular Windows OS (3.1) wasn't released til what? '93? thats half of Windows' lifeline...
