The ReactOS project recently showcased on YouTube [that it's] possible to virtualize the Mac OS X 10.4 operating system on their free and open-source Windows alternative operating system.
Our "Watch" series of articles continues today with a very interesting one where you can see Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger running inside the ReactOS computer operating system, which we believe has come a long way, and it's beginning to look like a viable alternative to Microsoft's Windows 7 or Vista operating systems, perfect for desktop computers and laptops.
The latest release, ReactOS 0.4.8, showed us last month that it's now possible to use Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows Vista software on the free and open-source operating system that's binary compatible with computer programs and device drivers made for Windows.
It also introduced initial support for reading data from NTFS formatted drives, a new app similar to the DrWatson32 software for Windows, some user-visible changes like support for balloon notifications in the system tray area, and support for unmounting network drives directly from the file explorer.

Hardware compatibility used to be a huge issue. Driver compatibility issues. Etc. That's at least how bad it used to be. I haven't played with it much recently, but I usually fire up a ReactOS instance in a VM when they do a new release. It seems to be pretty stable nowadays, but they recommend not using the current version for every day use (their definition of Alpha). From what I understand they'll mark it Beta when they think it should be safe to make everyday use of it.
