More to the point, why would anyone want to use it? If in the future
someone tries to release a product based on it I suspect things could get
interesting.
First, much of ReactOS uses the GNU ntifs.h which contains code stolen from
the NT4.0 DDK, and possibly more thefts since Mr. Branton the author
solicted a number of people to send him the Microsoft IFS kit when it was
under strict license.
Second, there is an amazing similarity of some routines with the Windows
2000 source that was stolen and went around the web for a while.
Finally, if you read in detail the EULA for the DDK/WDK of recent times, you
will see some potential for more fun with ReactOS.

Hi,
did you ever try ReactOS and if yes, what
do you think about it.?
Yesterday i had the chance to run my first
QEMU emulated ReactOS and it looks fine
for me, except that it is not that stable and is
missing lots of windows functionality at all.
Sure it is still Alpha state but looks great!
What do you think?
Regards
Kerem
