#REACTOS OPERATING SYSTEM WINDOWS 10#

That said, as Microsoft has pushed ahead with killing off the likes of Windows 7 (even Windows 10 is not much longer for this world), the case for ReactOS as a compatible replacement for the company's older operating systems has strengthened. As the readme says, it continues to focus on Windows Server 2003 compatibility but "is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with Windows Vista." The same applies to 0.4.14 (once we got it running – it continued to take exception to Hyper-V on our Windows 10 system) which is unsurprising. We took a look at 0.4.13 in 2020 and found the experience delightfully retro. The most recent release was December 2021's 0.4.14, replete with kernel fixes, shell updates, and some more work on the intriguing Xbox port. The project started in 1998 (actually 1996, if one counts a brief dalliance with Windows 95), with the goal of recreating the Windows NT kernel, along with some basic drivers. POSReady 2009ĭevelopment on ReactOS has been painfully slow. RIP: Microsoft finally pulls plug on last XP survivor.

ReactOS 'a ripoff of the Windows Research Kernel', claims Microsoft kernel engineer.

And we've got our talons on the latest build to see what needs fixing

ReactOS hits a milestone – actually hiring a full-time developer.

Meet Neptune OS, an attempt to give seL4 a Windows personality transplant.

As such, software support in ReactOS has become ever more important (certainly when taking a glance at the project's forums). While the silicon required was a bit exotic back when ReactOS was in its infancy, hardware support is commonplace today. Wow!! #ReactOS running in SMP reaching Desktop!! As a Bonus: using Windows XP Task Manager to show the processors load! #opensource #kernel #smp /rkZzohTA6S The developers are clear: this is a work in progress and not yet in the trunk, but persuading the operating system to run in SMP mode to the point where one can get to the familiar face of the Windows XP Task Manager is an impressive achievement. ReactOS, the open-source project for creating a binary-compatible drop-in replacement for Windows, has crossed a crucial milestone with a first look at symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support.
