ReactOs a free software Windows clone
ReactOS® is an effort by the ReactOS Foundation to create a Free Software replacement for Microsoft Windows® that is compatible with existing hardware and software.
ReactOS is a free and open-sourced operating system based on the Windows NT architecture, providing support for existing applications and drivers, and an alternative to the current dominant consumer operating system.
The development of the free and open-source ReactOS started back in February 1998. But it was first introduced around 1996 with a project for implementing a replica of Windows 95. A group of open-source and free software developers started the project and named it FreeWin95.
Unfortunately, the project couldn’t go longer. Even after more than a year, there was no progress. Then Jason Filby joined the team to recover the project. Finally, they named the new project ReactOS, and it’s based on Windows NT functionality.
As of November 2018, ReactOS is considered to be alpha software, which, while incomplete in its features, many Windows applications are already running.
