Description:
ReactOS , an open-source project
to develop an operating system that is compatible with Microsoft
Windows NT applications and drivers, is celebrating 30
years since the first commit to its source tree. In that time
there have been more than 88,000 commits from 301 contributors, for a
total of 14,929,578 lines of code. There is, of course, much left to
do. It's been such a long journey that many of our contributors today, including myself, were not alive during this event. Yet our mission to
deliver "your favorite Windows apps and drivers in an open-source
environment you can trust" continues to bring people together. [...] We're continuing to move ReactOS forward. Behind the scenes there are
several out-of-tree projects in development. Some of these exciting
projects include a new build environment for developers (RosBE), a new
NTFS driver, a new ATA driver, multi-processor (SMP) support, support
for class 3 UEFI systems, kernel and usermode address space layout randomization (ASLR), and support for modern GPU drivers built on
WDDM.
