Linux is just a kernel, whereas GNU/Linux is the system. So yes it's not meant to be a kernel, because it contains one already.
Or Wine on GNU/Linux. And you don't seem to see the point of using free (as in freedom) software. Windows is a total spyware piece of shit.
Please no.
Reactos thread
Okay.
If you are using react os you dont care about free software. you might as well go full proprietary.
I prefer using 'application', because just 'app' sounds horribly, but programs on Windows are mostly just 'apps'.
Here you're right.
Unlike Linux/UNIX, windows is useless. There's no demand for an open source windows clone.
You can say that no one wants the exact shit M$ has produced but most people want their closed source Windows applications.
ReactOS is shit and a proof that nobody wants windows. Wine is a compatibility layer which allows users to abandon a garbage OS and use Linux instead.
There is a big demand for an open source Windows clone. Unfortunately, many of those who wish for such a system are unwilling to invest development resources into building this outcome.
The only conclusion that the state of ReactOS proves is that there isn't a big development investment going into it. It doesn't prove that people want to actively reject Windows.
Does it run any Windows game up to Win7?
Check out the Wine compatibility database. If it is supported there, then there is a high probability it's supported in ReactOS.
