Member since:Erm, so a 0.2.x OS isn't ready to replace something from the Microsoft behemoth? Did anyone expect otherwise? I can't see the point of your post :-)
As for repairs, this is an area in which ReactOS could shine in a few years, when it's more fleshed-out and stable. Instead of being at the mercy of Microsoft to have OS-level bugs fixed, you could contract someone else out to do it -- possibly cheaper and almost certainly faster.

True, this is a risk...
But didn't a similar thing happen a while back?
I seem to remember that's how we have FreeBSD - wasn't FreeBSD essentially reverse engineered (without really copying any code) from BSD?
If this is the case, then would this previous case perhaps set a precedent?

I seriously doubt few if any businesses will bother with ReactOS until it has good support. And even then they may not bother. I hate to say it but at this point Windows is probably the cheapest to use. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to do updates/repairs on it.
Oh and yeah - we are kinda persistent aren't we.
