;-) yes but it would make the group of users much smaller. an windows-replacement that can run all windows programs, including those of windows 10 can be used as a stable replacement for everyone, when the target would be xp/2003 most people and most new hardware would not benefit from it. but luckily david pointed out also support for newer windows versions is planned.

@Dick,
Windows XP/2003 is a great target, those were very stable systems, and ReactOS can perfectly replace them. Software companies dont support them because lack of maintenance. But ReactOS has that :)

I think reactos shoulld support also windows 7/10 programs, because when it only supports older windows-versions you all are in fact building history, something that will never be usable for new computers with new software so it would never be able to replace windows. I realy hoep the day this project is suitable for daily use comes ever, about 20 yers of work without a full functional versoin makes me doubt reactos will ever become a fully workign replacement for windows. Who knows, maybe everybody had forgoten windows in 10 years and everybody uses chrome os. so i hope there is a plan, somethign users can expect. a first beta release for example. best regards, Dick
