ReactOS look like Windows 95. Why in the hell would they design the GUI to look that antiquated? Although I admire the tenacity of the dev team on this one, I just don't believe this project will ever mature and grow a larger community. At least not with Linux, RemixOS, Chrome OS, MacOS, and authentic Windows being better alternatives.

less time spent making a flashy cuck attracting OS, and more time making one that just works and allows people to get in there and customize it.

here is a link to where ReactOS garnered interest by Russian federation as alternative software freedom efforts.

i'd expect things to pick up, plus i believe the GUI can already support a Linux clone look.

all the OS you just listed include known NSA back-doors. (other than the hardware ones) *

*i don't know what 'RemixOS' is so educate me if you feel the need.

Remix OS is a fork of Android. The most unique thing about it is that they've created a desktop version that is actually functional as a desktop replacement. They've already got at least one manufacturer selling an AIO computer running the OS. It's definitely not a major player in the OS world, but I'd argue it has more promise for mainstream acceptance than a clone of Windows that, honestly, just looks extremely dated. I'm not trying to trash the project, but I just don't see a big demand for such a thing, especially when open source alternatives (based on Linux) are widely available and actively developed and supported. But hey, if they can create something compelling, that would be awesome.
