ReactOS is an open-source operating system for x86/x64 PCs intended to be binarycompatible with computer programs anddevice drivers made for Windows Server 2003.[4]
Development began in 1996, as a Windows 95 clone project, and was continued as ReactOS in
1998, with the incremental addition of features of later Windows versions. ReactOS has been noted
as a potential open-source drop-in replacement for Windows[5][6][7] and for its information
on undocumented Windows APIs.[8] As stated on the official website, "The main goal of the ReactOS
project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows ... such that
people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows would find using ReactOS
straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install
ReactOS without the end user noticing the change." [9] As of July 2016, ReactOS is considered alpha
software, feature-incomplete but with many Windows applications already working (e.g. Adobe
Reader6.0, OpenOffice etc.[10]),[11] and therefore recommended by the developers only for evaluation
and testing purposes.[12][13]
ReactOS is primarily written in C, with some elements, such as ReactOS File Explorer, written in C+
+. The project partially implements Windows API functionality and has been ported to
the AMD64 processor architecture.[14] ReactOS, as part of theFOSS ecosystem, re-uses and
collaborates with many other FOSS projects,[15][16] most notably the Wine project which develops a
Windows compatibility layer for Unix-like operating systems.
