NO.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...

Name like this would only stir up MS lawyers. Just look up on Haiku, they had to rename it from OpenBeOS..

WindOS

(Could stand for Wind Operating System or Wind Open Source)


But I don't mind the name ReactOS. Although the nightlies should be called ProactOS.

Actually, OpenWindows was the name of a GUI on old SunOS/Solaris.

Because you guys become too enthused with yourselves over this, I'll just state now no suggestion in this thread about a new name for the project will be considered, period.

what is bad on name ReactOS ? its pretty nice. i think more important than name of OS is development of OS. in linux world is something similar.. my very favourite linux distribuction have "OS" word too... its SalixOS.. now i like SalixOS, ReactOS and maybe Haiku devs rename their OS to HaikuOS :) i think what reactos needs more than change name is have slogan.. this OS is here some years and must create his own image... image == name == ReactOS
