ReactOS has been in Alpha since Jesus was a lad. Their time has arrived but they're not ready.

If you have Windows programs you absolutely can't do without I'd think XP in a virtual box on a Linux PC or even WINE is a better bet than ReactOS.

I moved to Linux years ago because a virus wreaked havoc on my XP PC, it took a bit of getting used to but now I find Windows a pain in the 4r53. It's great for power nappers I guess.
