for me it's finally and actually learning Windows. Just giving up and using 
another system? _how convenient_. And it's not like just for wanting to 
develop an open source operating system you *must* contribute to Linux - 
what makes people think that? I hate Linux, why should I care?

you really *don't want* to get in a discussion with *me* about differences 
between Windows and Linux. I'm pretty much doomed to be always right about 
the topic, having spent countless hours of my life studying it. Let's put 
it this way: they are roughly *equivalent*, but in no way *interchangeable*

ReactOS *is* meant as "a good system which allows running old windows 
applications"
