ReactOS 0.3.3 has been released. "The Win32 subsystem is in the beginning of a total overhaul to make it completely compatible with NT5 which may introduce various drops in application compatibility from time to time, however in the 0.3.3 release it has had a positive impact on stability and compatibility with Win32 applications. As a generic result of these internal changes, the system feels a lot more stable in comparison to previous releases, and could be run on a real hardware (though usual limitations still apply - no USB, SATA, NTFS)." The screenshots page has been updated as well.

They finished the clean up, thus no mention. Whether their was pirated code is unknown and pure speculation.

NT5 is the code base for 2000, XP and Vista. If you stick to NT5 you'll get a good system.

Actually Vista is officially using the NT 6.0 kernel, although rumour has it SP1 will up that to NT 6.1 to come in line with Server 2008.

Yes, but Vista is a thing to avoid wherever and whenever possible.
