Microsoft's telemetry features in Windows 10 are a privacy advocate's nightmare. Now that Microsoft is trying to back port these "features" into existing versions of Windows, it seems like many of us have no future upgrade path. Sure there is Linux, but I have some older Windows software that I still want to use. ReactOS is still out there, but does not look like there have been any updates in a while.
Does the Soylent community believe it is possible to get this project going full steam to producing a useable alternative for existing Windows users?

They currently have someone helping out as part of their PhD. They have also in the past been part of the Google Summer of Code events. They apparently were accepted in 2006 https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2006/ [reactos.org] and 2011 https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011/ [reactos.org]. I wouldn't be surprised, if working on something like ReactOS would increase your marketability.
