ReactOS: Rebuilding Microsoft Windows from the ground up, fully open-source
I definitely admire their moxie, but I have to say that it surprises me that the developers keep on working on this project year-after-year.<p>There was a time many years ago when I was hopeful that ReactOS would end up providing us with an open version of windows to help break their stranglehold. But considering the ways the industry has changed since the project launched in 1998, I just don't think there is much demand for an operating system like this anymore.<p>I would have lost motivation for this project a decade ago, but I still wish the devs the best of luck.
