Hi All,
just wondeing what you guys thought of ReactOS (http://www.reactos.org/), the OpenSource WinXP replacement.
Will it take off? Does anyone care?

Interesting!
Not sure if it'll take off, or if I care ... yet.
Just checked it out, read some FAQs, manuals and forum. :)
It is a very attractive project, if I had more free time, I'd definitely install and check it out. Personally, I'm not very optimistic about Windows Vista as I still am not very fond of .NET either (after BDS 2006 came out, C# looks less attractive now ;)).

I hate .NET and am loathe to consider Vista as well ... and I concur about C# as well. Though some swear by .NET, I think it's a bad thing ... mainly since it can screw up essential things if the latest version is flawed.
It how my entire COM/OLE interface blew up one time...

I've heard about it a while ago and downloaded the preloaded QEMU version. Very buggy and very slow. :(
But it has potential, and if the developers will reach beta status in the soon future, it could be capable of reducing the influence of Windows. I hope so.
As I read in the german forum, Delphi applications doesn't work (well) under ReactOS.

delphi apps used not to work ;)
it is progressing fast now, it was a lot more buggy year ago, they are working on it a lot, see #reactos on freenode, networking also works now, and bugs are squashed regulary.

Well it still doesn't run properly on a 64 bit processor (locks up before it can even boot). So while I'm keeping an eye on it, its useless to me : (.
