Work on ReactOS will lead to improvements on Wine, and vice versa.&lt;p&gt;So it&amp;#x27;s still a useful project for the common user, even if the final product of a fully functional Windows NT clone is still far from being realized.&lt;p&gt;But actually - there&amp;#x27;s another, even more interesting use for ReactOS that I&amp;#x27;m surprised has yet to be attempted.&lt;p&gt;A lot of people seem to praise the NT kernel on an architectural level for its microkernel-like features and object system, but it&amp;#x27;s buried between the cruft that forms the rest of the Windows stack. A free software reimplementation like ReactOS could actually allow for people to exploit the untapped potential of the NT kernel by fusing it with other userlands. Think in the vein of GNU&amp;#x2F;kFreeBSD. Perhaps a FreeDOS one? Either way, the novelty value is certainly high.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>NTFS now supported in ReactOS LiveCD</title><url>http://reboot.pro/topic/20149-ntfs-now-supported-in-reactos-livecd/</url></story>
