The ReactOS project has released a new newsletter. "The past few weeks have seen quite a lot of activity. At least six major blocker bugs were dealt with, ranging from the network issue to various bugs in the command line console." On top of that: "Some people aren't aware that ReactOS was one of several projects that received hardware to test on from One Laptop Per Child. Aleksey has been playing around with it, slowly coaxing ReactOS to boot."

Not at all. If anything the problem is that hardware complexity is increasing, standards are only loosely followed by manufacturers and documentation is nearly impossible to find unless it's an Intel component.
If that wasn't bad enough, broken ACPI implementations are probably the cause of at least a quarter of everybodies problems alone.

That seems to be a growing trend in smaller alternative and hobby operating systems, their driver support for modern hardware has slowed down with the advancement of virtual machines.
