ReactOS Reviews

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

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.

Good project.

Very cool and fast. I hope and waiting to have 1st beta version. I want to use it as a replacement of my window PC and laptop.

Very good, but I'd like to point some things. You can't open MSI installers, which is a very significant problem. Also, Game Maker Studio games don't open for some reason.

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?

ReactOS is a nice operating system. Even if it is in alpha stage, it is getting more stable every release. I hope it get better than Windows one day.

This project is a great idea and is very useful for an Alpha, but development to reach Beta is slow. They need more support from developers and companies. Needs more focus on NTFS development, to become a more viable alternative, where users move files back and forth between Windows and ReactOS. NTFS should not be underestimated. Btrfs, while nice, is Linux orientated. Like Ext4, Btrfs is not used much in the "Windows world", but it is better than FAT32 (and it's 4GB limit) . Getting more applications to work on ReactOS is essential, particularly open source ones (ex- LibreOffice, OpenOffice). Would like to see more porting of software development tools on the ReactOS and software developers making sure their software can run on it.

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.

it have almost all of app, device, and game support although still alpha. keep it up

good

Super

cuando solucionan el tema de las conexiones usb

It's good, provided that it's in Alpha stage Continue developing!!! 😉😀

Question: Would anyone recommend for use in Virtual Box for Project Testing?

Thanks a lots for ReactOS.

It is owesome to have such openhearted and openminded people who wants to give open OS to the world, to give alternative to the Microsoft who monoploze the world, to save countless old computers which are falsely proclaimed to be outdated and incapable and to show that one can make short, cleaver and fast software in contract to big players. THANKS !!!!!! Neven

ReactOS despite being in alpha stage, it is easy, fast, flexible and with great future. Please join to.

Although still raw in places, this OS is for sure one of the best things I've seen in the entire internet. Maybe I'll switch to it from Windows 10 when it'll get support for Win7 apps and for NTFS.

Interesting project that allows to eliminate Windows in some cases. Though emulation does not embrace all the cases. I hope it will be more perfect. It is already great.

Amazing experience the installation, tests and running! I tested some applications: Arduino, Cura, Lazarus and Scribus. There wasn't a deep test, but I have no problems. None problem with this apps.
