  • I am using the newer version 4.16. The fact that I was able to get Office 2007 installed and working is a game changer for me! This never version seems to be running better! I am using Firefox 52ESR and MyPal for Internet browsers. This puts this operating system very close to Microsoft XP in my opinion. Ok, I have used ReactOS for a long time and have never had as much success on it until now. I have never been able to install a Microsoft Office until now!
  • I tried the current ISO in VMware, ReactOS-0.4.15-release-1-gdbb43bbaeb2-x86-iso.zip, and unfortunately, the file download doesn't work either. Browsing works, but when I try to download a file, the download doesn't start. It would be great if you could include a modern browser in the system...
  • Es un gran proyecto, lo revise a fondo en una de sus primeras versiones, incluso hice una presentracion sobre el. Demostranto que se puede hacer un so libre sin usar linux.
  • Hi, nice implementation and for me a refreshing gimmick. Ultimately, formatting the hard drive in Btrfs was successful and the operating system booted successfully. That's fun. All the best!
  • very good where nowadays there are rarely projects that support old hardware, and the system features are also capable
