The end of XP

A lot of people that 'grew-up' with the internet, fondly remember Windows XP, it was a stable, reliable and user friendly operating system.

It welcomed in an age of change, from a time a good number of people didn't have internet access, right into the dawn of high-speed cable internet, XP saw it through.

However the end has come about for this weary war-horse. Now more than ever the world needs an operating system which fulfils the users requirements rather than imposing 'features' onto consumers which then only come to loath or work-around those 'features'

There are visionaries in computing, some have passed their prime, others go from strength to strength, and sometimes even now, far down the road a newcomer can arrive which shows real promise...

For me... that newcomer is ReactOS

The king is dead...

Long live ReactOS!

React OS.

React OS (operating system) is a completely free opserating system for PC's based around the same technology windows uses. this means that unlike Linux it is (or it will be once completed...) entirely compatible with ALL windows programs.

http://www.reactos.org

an example of the operating system, which, as you can see it pretty much identicle to screens of Windows NT (around which XP was also built)

This operating system is only in what is called 'Alpha' stage at the moment, it it still literally being built, it has been in production for many years, but is only being produced by part time coders, much akin to how linux began, with many people contributing to the overall.

If like many people you enjoy computer games on the PC, but dont always want to have to rely on / pay for Microsoft operating systems, on which the vast majority of games will run, unlike Linux which requires 'go-between' software to run games and windows applications ReactOS will run them nativly.
