Hello ReactOS Team,
I'm just emailing to let you know what I think of ReactOS v0.3.9.
I played around with the LiveCD flavor of it. Despite it crashing and
blue screening on my Acer Aspire One, I tried it on my Lenovo 3000
N100. It worked fine, however ReactOS did not detect my USB Keyboard
or Mouse.
My sound card in my Lenovo is a SoundMax HD Intergrated Audio using
the Microsoft UAA Sound Bus Driver. In ReactOS, it didn't detect it.
I'm guessing it didn't support it.
Would ReactOS have a Web Browser when it blooms in a beta release? I'm
just curious to know as this looks as a Windows 2K3 Workstation Clone
(ReactOS Pro v5.2.3790 SP1) which is somewhat convinicing that it's
loading into a really good OS. (Was this done to 'hide' the 0.3.9
version number?)
The GUI needs some work, but I guess as the GUI was built using WINE, It's okay.
Other than that, when I have working USB support, Video (Intel GMA945)
and Sound, I may jump off the Microsoft ship and become more involved
with ReactOS.
I've been a Linux user for a while, but I believe that ReactOS has
potiental. Linux and WINE didn't cut the cake as some apps didn't run
in WINE like MS .NET apps.
Does the Installer version have more apps when it's installed?
Cheers,
Matthew C.
