ReactOS (React Operating System) is an open source operating system that is compatible with applications and drives intended for versions that use Windows NT 5.x as a kernel and above, ie from Windows 2000 and above.
This is the sequel to an earlier attempt to create a Windows 95 clone.
Its development started with 1998 and has since continued to add features that already exist in Windows.
ReactOS is mainly written in C, while some of its applications, such as the ReactOS browser, are written in C ++. The project supports ARM and AMD64 processors, almost cloning Windows APIs. The fact has twice caused legal problems in the past, but has been overcome by the legal team of the project.
The main developer of ReactOS, Mr. Ziliang Guo he said on September 11 the new version of the open source operating system ReactOS 0.4.15-rc.
ReactOS 0.4.15 supports: NTFS file system, ext2, shell, SerialATA, USB, wireless networking, and Virtual PC and VirtualBox.
There are many other new features such as graphics enhancements, important updates to memory manager, better networking, support for 16bit DOS applications, booting support in Windows 2003 using ReactOS bootloader and more.
ReactOS 0.4.15 will soon be available for free download, as Live CD and BootCD ISO images, or in VMware and QEMU images. Note that ReactOS is not an operating system based on the Linux kernel and does not borrow any of the functionality of the UNIX architecture.
