As a Free OS it can grow with the community growing around it, without unnecessary restraints that proprietary licensing imposes. Some day, React OS may be something we might call “Windows done right”.Īnd the fact that it is free, that its source code is out on the open and that everyone (yes my curious friend, even you) can contribute to its development, eye the code for imperfections, submit bug reports and fixes, only adds up to the potential that React OS has for the future. It would not be unreasonable to assume that at some point React OS will fix the flaws today so frequently exhibited by the Windows platform. As its developers will tell you, and prove with their hard work and dedication over the last 10 years, React OS will not only track progress of the Windows NT-based platform, but at some point exceed its capabilities. React OS doesn’t intend to lack behind though. It essentially gives you a windows-like experience and freedom at the same time. But since Windows is a proprietary operating system completely dependable on Microsoft and its whims, it lacks freedoms that those remaining Windows users may need. Why develop React OS when we already have GNU/Linux and BSD? Well, because React OS developers believe that there are some which will simply never switch to GNU/Linux as they will, for some reason, never find what they believe they have with Windows. In the same sense, React OS is not Windows, although it is very much like it. GNU Project aimed to develop an UNIX compatible operating system that is free (as in freedom) and yet *Not UNIX* as the name itself suggests (GNU’s Not Unix). You may compare the goals of React OS project with the goals of the GNU Project in its early days. Setting up partitions, only FAT32 is supported at this point
