Re: [Trisquel-users] ReactOS - informations about free winxp clone?

[onpon4]

I think, if ReactOS becomes good enough for real use, it will be a good  
thing. A binary-compatible replacement for Windows would be helpful for  
migration to freedom.

But don't overestimate its goodness. Firstly, keep in mind that even  
free/libre software tends to be compiled with Visual Studio. Secondly, as was  
briefly mentioned before, it's supposed to use already-existing proprietary  
Windows drivers. It's theoretically possible for these problems to get fixed,  
but I doubt it; so ReactOS isn't ever going to be a good alternative to  
GNU/Linux systems.
