Free XP Compatible OS!
Updated: 26 Sep 2008 | 3 comments
Juice user erikw shared with us an interesting article listing very helpful Freeware applications.
That reminded me of the ReactOS project that you probably have not heard of.
Their goal is to replace Windows XP with a Freeware OS that is completely compatible. They expect to release their first Beta later this year, which will be stable enough for everyday use!

i know this OS
and already test it.
for now it's not very compatible with windows XP.
yes, there is a lot of programs that work on both of them but also on linux with wine.
reactos is just more compatible but can't run every program that xp do.
beside that i'm not sure what MS have to say about it... after all there is a copyright issues i think...
and if speaknig of free OS
here nice post with some free OS:

Interesting OS , but not yet usable in a production environment.
A good idea about programs compatible with ReactOS is to take a look the ReactOS Screenshots page.
In this page is shown a large list of programs running under this OS.
