I wonder if it can play Warcraft III, Frozen throne and DOTA? Anybody have try? If it can than I will ditch Window totally.

Just downloaded the 125MB ISO and installed in on Virtual Box. Nice.
But wonder why it is forever in Alpha stage? Their forum member said it is been 20 years in development but still no stable release.
They warn us not to install it on real hardware and say React OS 0.4 is not suitable for home and office use.

Well the stable release can only be declared when it reached feature parity with real Windows, which is impossible for legal and development model reasons.

Has anyone tried this on real hardware? I have some older hardware i'd like to get running again. More specifically a pentium 4, but for the parallel and serial ports.

Just tested this on VMware workstation. The mouse does not get work for me. So I just uninstall it immediately. Perhaps wait a bit when it is in beta. But really good and interesting idea. Hope they can get it to work properly cause Windows XP is one of the best Windows version out there.

ReactOS open-source code on GitHub... If I read correctly, the operating system was written in C.
