From the WinBeta subforum of reboot.pro:

I'm Pierre Schweitzer, one of the ReactOS developers. This is a free operating system that aims to re-implement Windows, but this time with an open source license.

ReactOS now supports reading files from NTFS volume. This was a long awaited feature people were asking for. And here it is.

You can see what I'm talking about on the three pictures [included in the fine article].

    Well, they've been working on it since 2004 (and even that was based on a previous abandoned project apparently) and they're still in alpha, so it'll be awhile.

    Plus, I can only assume Microsoft will sue the living bejeezus out of them the instant it looks like they're actually going to publish a usable product. (What's that, APIs aren't patentable? Here, let me find a different judge who disagrees.)

    The only way they will get anywhere fast is if someone with big pockets and more resources helps out.

    Like say the Chinese Gov or similar...
