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].

    Hey, don't knock ReactOS. FreeDOS is getting long in the tooth now, maybe ReactOS can serve a niche as the preinstalled operating system that no one wants anyway and will immediately wipe in favour of a pirated Windows installation.

    Even if it never reaches stability for every day use, it could be a valuable testing tool. You don't always have the same exact OS configuration handy that the customer does.

    On more than one occasion I've been able to track down a bug by running an application in wine. e.g. when work desktops ran XP and a client were deploying Windows 7.

    Being able to do UI tests in a lightweight virtualization container as part of an automated build system would be neat.
