ReactOS 0.4.16

I do a lot of industrial automation and it is the one thing that keeps me boat-anchored to Windows. Every little programmable doodad like signal conditioners and temperature transmitters have their own USB programming cables and their own, mostly crappy windows config software. PLC software is another abomination, hopelessly Windows anchored, bloated GUI monsters, some built on top of Visual Studio (Beckhoff TwinCAT.)

I have donated to ReactOS in the past in the hopes of one day freeing myself from this hell.

Looks like a lot of improvements on long-standing hard-to-find issues. Kudos to the team and thank you for providing an alternative OS that keeps getting better

Love it! Haiku, ReactOS and sure Linux. But if necessary, the real art of computing can be kept up!

One of my favorite projects, maybe someday it can be a true daily driver, I wonder if that's the goal for 1.0 is to claim that they've gotten it stable enough to run as though it were Windows 7 or something to that effect.

Quite the dedication have these people!

This reminds me of the feeling of when Linux got graphical installers instead of long text based ones asking you many, many questions.

This seems like the sort of project that ai would excel at. /goal excel runs flawlessly.

TIL that the GUI of ReactOS isn't based on React. All these years spent baffled that who would like to build an OS with JS, thanks to me only reading the headlines lol
