The latest ReactOS newsletter is out. "Reactions have varied in regard to 0.3.1, though one response was consistent. The difficulty in getting it to work on real hardware. As mentioned many times, 0.3.1 was branched in the middle of a kernel rewrite."

The TCP/IP stack may have been rewritten for NT3.5; however the NT4 stack was problematic for heavy network use and the Windows 2000 TCP/IP stack fingerprinted as a BSD stack....
Times have changed.
Personally I think it would be great if a shared driver model allowed well written drivers to be shared across the range of open source operating systems.

NT's TCP/IP stack is not borrowed from FreeBSD's. It had at one point a BSD-derived stack, and still ships with some BSD-derived tools, but the stack was rewritten for NT 3.5.
