I think, writing Free Software for Windows just binds the users tighter to that unfree system!
Just recently I read an article in a magazine, which came to the conclusion, that there would be no reason to change to [GNU/]Linux, because all the software they tested is also available for Windows. :-(
If we all believed in magazines, none of us would even know about the choices...
Projects such as ReactOS should be getting the very fullest of weight from the FSF, not Linux [1]. I don't know why people have missed this very self-evident point.
Well, I think ReactOS can never keep up with Windows - because it is controlled by one single company. If ReactOS comes too close, Microsoft simply changes something in their system to make it incompatible. They are the ones, who have the finger at the trigger (sourcecode/specifications).
Remember OS/2 - even IBM couldn't keep up.
And what's the advantage of using an operation system over another that is just a look-alike?
