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].

Um, you claim to have booted Haiku and you think it is an Amiga OS clone? Guess you never actually saw an Amiga, right? Haiku is a clone of Be OS.
Now onto the subject of ReactOS. Their problem is that they have been at it for a very long time and still have NOTHING to show for it. They can't really point to a single instance of a non-trivial Windows application running on an actual PC hosting ReactOS and say, "This is what you can do with our product!" I don't expect them to have Windows 8 or even 7 full compatibility. But how about Win9x? OR WfW? Something? Some subset that can do something useful for somebody? Anything?
Within a year of Linus making his big announcement people were doing useful work with real machines running it. Most of the credit of course should go to the GNU Project for supplying the userland, MIT for X, etc. but it could do things. And ReactOS has Wine to contribute a lot of code that also actually does things... although Wine also has a lot of gaps in coverage considering how many years of effort it has invested.
