Open source NT compatible operating system
ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers.
Although currently focused on NT 4, future work will support newer Windows versions including 2000 & XP.
ReactOS is still in the very early stages and only limited console applications will currently work. Version 0.1.1 can now be downloaded from reactos.com.
