Take a look at http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/index.html
It's a open source OS based on Windows NT-XP. Pretty cool stuff.

Yeah that is really cool! It will be great to see what it gets to when another yaer goes by.

I have this running... It's really coming along nice. When it is more stable I am going to take EHome tools and make it work with it. That way no problems with MS on lic issues if you have 5 EHome computers in your house.

Ohhhhh good idea! I didn't think of that. It's probobly MUCH more lightweight than Win2k

by **JakeBullet** on Fri Mar 31, 2006 7:32 pm

So much more lightweight. It will run in 32meg. Reminds me of the old NT4 except with the newer support. I even striped out all ADO - MDAC out of EHome a few days back. Now for a database I use SqLite. Saved 8meg af RAM and the EHome client speeded up! My target is to get EHome to run on 64Meg of RAM.

That is awesome! Bye bye mdac!!! Won't miss you!

I was bringing down the latest source last night and saw the code for the directx layer... Yes, directx. Its truly an amazing project.

Version .3 Of ReactOS released! This gets better and better!

The only downside I personally have with this is that the 3 pentablet PCs (Fujitsu Stylistic 3500) I got from eBay use special drivers which may not work with the new OS.

Hopefully this is my last post until your next release comes out.

So, Stop reading my posts and get back to coding...

LOL.
Gave me a good laugh on that.

I think where this OS can fit in is on new custom touch screens systems.

Embeded PC: $250 (boot from a flash drive)
Touch screen: $180
OS: $0

So a nice new LEGAL eHome client can be had on the cheap.

OK, OK, I am back to programming!

ReactOS is at 0.3.1

Its getting better!!!!

And the whole point here is to have your Win compatible drivers working the same way in ReactOS as the did in Windows...
