I haven't seen #reactos for 8 years as it didn't boot on #hyper_v since 2016. Every new version failed.
Today I found out that ReactOS still runs on Hyper-V from Server 2008 R2.
It was nice to see that all my UI software starts on it (except #OpenGL stuff).

It is a tragedy that there is no Non-Unix-based #opensource #OS available that is mature and ready to join the end-user market.
(Only #FreeDOS kind of succeeded).
I would like to see more #HaikuOS, #reactos or #osfree.
