Over React(OS)ing...

So I got a chance to play with ReactOS a little bit over the last few days.

The size and efficiency of their install is amazing and only leads me to believe more stongly that MS is killing it self by staying mired in the bog of "features" they try to ship with their OS.

The ReactOS® project is dedicated to making Free Software available to everyone by providing a ground-up implementation of a Microsoft Windows® XP compatible operating system. ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems, by using a similar architecture and providing a complete and equivalent public interface.

At just over 15MB for the live or install CD you owe it to yourself to download a copy and play with it a bit yourself.

Sorry for the gap in updates, there's been a major shift in my life I'll be talking more about soon...
