A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm hearing a few mentions about ReactOS recently. What do people mostly use it for? It seems it's trying to be a Windows XP clone, can it run latest browsers, which do not support old Windows versions?
It is more of an academic project than anything. It isn't really useful yet and might never be.
It isn't an academic project. Its main problem is that there aren't nearly enough developers or resources to achieve what they want - bug-to-bug compatibility with Windows.
