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."

I'm sure they test as much as they can, but mistakes happen. Remember, even in the tightly controlled
Linux kernel process, Linux has made "brown paper bag" releases to fix obvious critical bugs. ReactOS
isn't used on any production system, so although I'm guessing it did work on the hardware/test cases
they tested on before the release, I'd imagine that things fall through the cracks since the tests
aren't as thorough as a production system. They don't need to be (yet at least).
