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, since even Microsoft is breaking backwards-compatibility with 8, ReactOS may eventually be more compatible with old Windows code than Windows itself is. Assuming the project ever gets to beta, I'd say aim for 7 compatibility and just stop there.

    In my experience, Wine is already more compatible than old Windows code than Windows is -- and that's been true since Windows XP. "Compatibility mode" is a joke. There was once a time (back when I actually used Windows) when I installed Wine on Windows XP to get some Windows 9x software working...
