Did I miss something? Did everyone pass out free crack today? I just looked up ReactOS to see WTF this guy was talking about, and now I'm totally confused.... Who in their right mind would EVER want to run this crap? Wasting time... Right... You want people to give up on BSD, a great OS, and Unix in general, for WINDOWS?!?!?!?! I don't care if Microsoft released the Source Code for Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Windows Server 2003 TODAY... I still wouldn't use it. I like Unix. Actually, I like BSD and Linux, and I kinda miss BeOS, but there is no way I'm going to sit down, toss out years worth of books and DVDs I've accumulated over the years, and use some POS OS that's trying to look like Windows. I'm not using ReactOS, and I'm not sure if this was a Troll post, or a crackhead, but who here REALLY misses a Start Menu? If you don't trust open / source code available if you want it software.... And if you're a coder who works on that POS, why not look though the sources for BSD and see it's better than most. I had heard of ReactOS, but I never looked into it much, but after reading this I had to check out what it was. After seeing that it's basically a GnuWindows crap hole, I stopped reading and started getting confused. I'm watching Clerks II right now, and it's the part where Jay is singing "Good Bye Horses", and what he's hiding, is exactly what I think ReactOS can suck on. I'm not leaving BSD for some stupid start menu. :)
