ReactOS: the open source Windows

Entering an alternative universe, Michael Reed takes a look at an open source stand-in for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

ReactOS is an open source operating system that replicates the functionality R of the Microsoft Windows series of OSes while offering a considerable level of application compatibility. The current version is described as being at the alpha stage of development, and the developers recommend against using it as a day-to-day operating system for general computer tasks. That said, it’s a reasonably complete implementation of Windows XP/ Windows Server 2003 era core functionality and it can run quite a bit of software.

Michael Reed started with desktop OSes like RISC OS and AmigaOS before moving on to OS/2 and then Linux. So, he’s tough to impress in that area.

ReactOS currently targets compatibility with Microsoft Windows versions from the early 2000s, specifically Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. By then, Microsoft didn’t use the Windows NT branding, but this era of Windows operating system is sometimes referred to as NT 5.x.

More often than not, adding software to a Windows system takes a different path from that of traditional Linux. In most cases, you locate the program you want on the publisher’s website, download it and double-click on it to begin the installation. It’s then up to you to keep the software up to date. Some software can ‘call home’ to check for updates, but it’s not as neat as the unified package management system that Linux distributions enjoy. This approach to application installation works on ReactOS.

Unfortunately, recent versions of VirtualBox have removed 3D graphics acceleration support for versions of Windows on a level that ReactOS aspires to replicate. Current VMWare versions do support 3D acceleration that ReactOS can use.
