It does give me a warm fuzzy feeling to see the version number go up on reactos.com -- on (almost) any f/oss project for that matter. But I if I discovered the progress being made was misrperesented, I might lose trust in the people working on the project. Trust is important, and if we can gain the trust of end users, that's something we'll have that microsoft never really earned. :)
Maybe you should start reading ros-svn. We are approching 2000 commits since 0.2.6. While I won't claim that all of those commits were "progress", there is progress being made. Don't even think that we are trying to misrepresent the "progress" of the project, almost every day we are in there hacking on stuff.
I don't see how trust comes into this situation. The fact this is an open source project gives me all the trust I need. What are you, a debian user? ;0)
