Why does ReactOS exist?

With ReactOS, we have freedom from deliberately poor design choices such as the premature opening of the desktop well before the rest of the OS is actually ready to operate. ReactOS can allow vastly improved configuration practices such as the separation of the user profile from the OS system drive.

Can ReactOS replace Windows?

ReactOS (short for React Operating System) is an open-source project to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with Microsoft Windows™ NT applications and drivers. So in effect, ReactOS aims to replicate Windows NT.

Is ReactOS stable?

ReactOS has had 64-bit builds for a long time now, but it appears they’ve made some strides in both making them a lot more stable, and moving away from the MSVC compiler to GCC.

Is ReactOS faster than Windows?

To answer your question: ReactOS is faster than Windows. ReactOS is built with the intention of being fast and light and be able to run MOST Windows apps, without being Windows. If it ever gets out of Alpha and goes to a RTM version, I am sure it will be a Windows slayer.

What kind of software can I run on rereactos?

ReactOS is designed to run any software that Windows can, but unfortunately, if you check out the website ( FAQs | ReactOS Project ). in the FAQ, they write, “ ReactOS is still an on-going project and not all the apps and drivers run perfect on it just now ”. So in all probability, 90–95\% of apps that run on Windows will also run on ReactOS.

What is the difference between rereactos and Windows?

ReactOS is an open-source stand-alone, self-sufficient combination of operating system and Windows emulator. Windows, on the other hand, is a full-scale operating system that itself, emulates nothing. It does have subsystems that emulate a Linux command-line and a DOS environment, but that is the end of the similarity, as regards any emulation.
