  • An open source Windows. the project's premise is very good but unfortunately it didn't work on any of the many machines i tested it on. I hope they improve the project soon.
  • I tried to run ReactOS Live 0.4.11 Alpha on two PCs. One is HP Brio 400 (Win98, Celeron, 512mb, 80 gb); and other on assembled PC (P-IV, Intel Desktop MB, 2 gb ram, 80 gb). On both it didn't run. On both got same error "Process1_initialization_failed" Blue Screen. If we install it, is it possible that it would work?

  • Boot stopped with blank screen after loading boot drivers on Toshiba Satellite C50-B laptop. In virtualbox, it complained about lack of drivers and blue screened and didn't complete installation. Definitely alpha. I object to being called a troll (Crackez) for pointing out missing drivers in this Alpha release.
  • The first thing I got was a "can't load boot driver 'system32\drivers\cdfs/sus' error
  • DL-ed and burned ISO image of 0.4.1RC2 to an USB memory stick. Booted up on a Dell Optiplex desktop , with Intel 82Q963/Q965 graphics adapter. Couple of "loading xxx.dll" messages showed up, and screen stayed black ..... This is not ready yet!
