Win95 (everything about it) sucked ass compared to MacOS at the time. The only advantage was you didn't need to buy an expensive Mac computer. Trully the plebian choice.

Is reacto OS already installable and usable (assuming on a laptop)?
I'm afraid it might burn my mobo out of some poor ACPI implementation.

Wine on Windows is a pipedream.

They made a few patches to keep up with new hardware.
Himem.sys support for 1,44 floppies etc
Nathaniel Walker
No. Don't expect it to be until it reaches beta.

Except for NT, Windows Phone, DirectX (shit, but it was far better than OpenGL back then), Microsoft Office, the Surface line, their mouses, their keyboards and Azure; yes, they've never made anything decent.
Thomas Hall
You're kidding right? In the early days of DirectX, D3D was the poorly supported poor performance API. You only used DX if your GPU was shit or if the game forced it on you.

I used to shill for it back in 2015, since it appeared to be the Normie-Cure. If the normalfags didn't want to use UNIX or something else good, ReactOS could be shilled to them as a free alternative. Demoing it, I did enjoy it. However, there seems to have not been much progress since 2015, so idk anymore. I'm tempted to try it again in a VM. It had difficulty installing to some of my machines natively, but I have never had any problems running it on a VM.

#RealNews. Microsoft sucks at 100% everything they try to homebrew, all they do is buy and copy the best of the rest.
