That had to be the weakest troll attempt I've ever seen. I actually think that ReactOS, if run by people who weren't tied down by some unfortunate misconceptions, might have been a really good idea -- not as a great OS in its own right, but rather as a gateway drug for Unix-like OSes. Alas, that was not to be. Instead, it looks like it will just be a never-was (and occasional grist for some very weak trolling). -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
