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].

    My thoughts regarding Windows 10:

    I've been playing with the beta, and to be completely honest I can wrap it up in a single sentence:

    Imagine Windows 8 but with a start menu and the ability to run "apps" in actual windows, almost as if an OS called "Windows" could do that.

    Done. That's it. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there is no real improvement from 7. There. Speed improvements introduced in Windows 8? Negligible. Apps? Why the hell would anyone even bother on a desktop? UI? Still a hideous flat mess. At least bring back the classic theme so that my eyes don't have to bleed whenever I decide to slum it for the day instead of booting to Mint. New start menu? Less usable than the Windows 7 one since each element in the list view takes up about 2x as much space.

    I should at least post a disclaimer saying that Microsoft will probably at least pretend to listen to user feedback this time around, so the final version will likely offer something.

    And to be fair, I should also point out my personal biases here:
    1. I personally dislike tabletified flat UIs more than just about anything else. Wasted whitespace just makes me sad.
    2. I consider Windows to be a toy OS for games.
    3. I didn't try it on a tablet/touchscreen.
