Genauso wie EmuandCo würde ich ein Abwarten der Beta empfehlen. Für mich selbst halte ich es jedenfalls so. Wenn Du auf Gefrickel stehst und um Hilfe bittest – hierbei Rückfragen allerdings weitestgehend ignorierst - wird es mit (der Motivaion zu) Hilfestellungen Dritter schwer … - Welche ReactOS-Ve...

Ein Betriebssysstem, das flüssig auf einem Deiner Rechner laufen soll, und ReactOS (im Alpha-Stadium der Entwicklung) beißen sich für mich - denn nicht ohne Grund wird ReactOS von seinen Entwicklern für den alltäglichen Einsatz noch überhaupt gar nicht empfohlen. Oder wie es allgemein zur Apha-Phase...

Für Deinen XP-Rechner würde ich vielleicht eher auf ausgereifte Linux Distributionen für ältere Rechner wie AntiX, MX Linux oder zum Beispiel Q4OS setzen.

What kind of a try? But well, I wouldn't expect ReactOS to run smoothly because … Please note, that ReactOS is still in alpha and gives no guarantee of stability, safety of your files or working at all! "Alpha software may contain serious errors, and any resulting instability could cause crashe...

[…] Was sind heute schon 10 Millionen ? Es könnte auch ein "verrückter Milliardär" sein, der die Spende ausführt. Vielleicht sogar 50 Millionen. Weil er ein wenig "die Welt durcheinanderbringen will" und sehen will, ob er damit die Geschichte beeinflußen kann. Er muß dazu nicht ...

Please note, that ReactOS is still in alpha and gives no guarantee of stability, safety of your files or working at all! Alpha software may contain serious errors, and any resulting instability could cause crashes or data loss. Alpha software may not contain all of the features that are planned for ...

In my opinion clueless "users" might be confused by doing so.

The statement of the download-page "Please note, that ReactOS is still in alpha and gives no guarantee of stability, safety of your files or working at all" is (or at least was) quite often skipped or ignored...

[…] About "progress", please enlighten me with what great improvements was made in MS Win in the last 20 years. Once I compared security features of XP and Windows 7 in terms of Microsoft's optional Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit ( EMET ) and as far as I remember Windows Vista imp...

nlite was my friend (Win 7 Welcome Tour...). More important was to disable unneeded services (in terms of security by design). If I would have had to reinstall Win 7 back in those days, I didn't want to do those things again and again. Not knowing how to code such a "remove script", would ...

2. The reason for exclusion of unused functionality on end-user demand is not saving space, but as I said "The more features the more complexity the more bugs the less performance". Also, better componentizing of the system would reduce cross-dependancies. A while ago Russinovich talked a...

I will tell you what ppl really think about ROS. I was on way too many ROS booths repesenting the project to ignore that... Ppl out there laugh about ROS, ppl see a failure in ROS!! That is the truth about ppl's opinion and the truth you seem to not see either. Years ago, I think it was much worse ...

[…] Ich verfolge seit einer Weile das Werk eines einzigen Devs besonders genau, weil er nicht nur den Status Quo im Sinn hat, sondern er weiter hinaus will mit ROS. Multi Core aka SMP, UEFI, WDDM Treiber, NT6. Alles Sachen, die er interessant findet und was er mit ein paar Leuten, die genau so denk...

I would rather ask how close ReactOS is to being feauture-equivalent to XP and/or Windows Server 2003 – because it's still in alpha and does not guarantee stability, security of your files or functionality. But I would also appreciate a better answer. Sorry.
