When will you start to use ReactOS for something else than d
The reason of this poll is to find out when people think that ReactOS can
be used for something else than testing and coding the ReactOS itself.
I know that ReactOS is still under develope and you cant actually do
much with it. However there may be people who does not require the
full compatibility with all the Windows programs before they can use
ReactOS.

i voted for 2006.
all i need from reactos is a browser and office suite (anything extra is a bonus).
100% windows compatibility is not totally needed for what i want to do with it.
mind you, once networking is stable, there will be loads more people reporting bugs and trying other software. i think that this will speed things up even more (or just make the todo lists longer!) has long has the devs are ready for the influx and the bug reports are good all should go ok.

I could agree with you. ReactOS is useable than. Not as main OS but on an older computer maybe for my sister or so.John Headstrong wrote:all i need from reactos is a browser and office suite (anything extra is a bonus).

I voted for 2006 but I believe that it will probably even be sooner.
I'm going to be buying a new computer within about a month, and I think I'm going to dual boot ros with windows and then slowly convert completely to ros over time. I can't wait until the blessed day that I can finally delete windows!!!!
Windows deleted!!

Re: When will you start to use ReactOS for something else th
probably once i am able to install it and use the network drivers without having to do a bunch of stuff manually, or once i find the time to figure out how to do it manually. as long as i can get online to websites then i will start using as much as i use normal windows.

all of my training materials are windows based, and other computers they will come across will be windows machines, linux is not ideal for non computer users, for a start not everyone knows how to fix linux, and some users will what to install programs that they are used too.somebody wrote:For there you can use any distributive of Linux.

retraining users to use linux is not a option, nor is redoing all the training materials (booklets etc).
BTW your english is better than my french, german, spainish, polish etc
I voted for it for example. I play games in it (like minnnigolf and solitaire 8) ) and already wrote some texts in abiword or edited some files, e.g. the freeldr.ini inside ReactOS. It's a bit dangerous, because it can crash anytime, but I can 'work' with it 8)Dr. Fred wrote:Who is the guy that voted for "I already use ReactOS" ? What does do with it ?
If I would get my Realtek NIC's working in ReactOS and had an working pppoe driver than I would write into this forum from reactos
The latest SVN is already usable in many respects. It all depends on what your definition of usable is.
The network model is now in place and although there are a few bits missing and a few bugs, you can surf the net, grab email and chat in IRC.
ROS even has it's own built in web browser now (ibrowser), with firefox not too far away.
As for word processing, Abiword runs well and OOO is planned in the near future.
As soon as the network model is a little more stable, along with the operating system itself, I intend to use it for basic tasks where I can. Somewhere between 0.3 and 0.4 (hopefully before Christmas)

I voted for this year.
I have some specific uses in mind for ROS, and as long as there is an email client, a full-feature browser (that supports most of the latest standards), and some office/productivity software I'll be a very happy camper (and as people said above, we're almost there ).
I'd be using it already, but I need to free up a machine to install it onto.
