![]() The developers do, however, warn: "Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.14 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is not recommended for everyday use." Woo-hoo! And I really like one of the slogans the developers use: "Change your OS, not your software!" The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change." The developers continue to get us excited by saying, "Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows would find using ReactOS straightforward. This will allow your Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system." The developers explain that the main goal "is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture." ![]() Interesting, but the story gets better: "Written completely from scratch, aims to follow the Windows-NT architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. One of the comments highlighted a FOSS project that could make it irrelevant whether or not Microsoft makes the code available, ReactOS, an operating system "based on the design of Windows XP/2003."
